WA: Schoolboy's idea for Sept 11 memorial taken up
PERTH, Aug 11 AAP - A Perth schoolboy's suggestion that rose petals be scattered onthe streets of Manhattan to commemorate September 11 has reportedly been taken up.
Joshua Tan, 14, from the northern Perth suburb of Kallaroo, responded to a World TradeCentre website invitation to submit ideas on how to commemorate the anniversary, the SundayTimes newspaper reported today.
In his email the teenager suggested rose petals could be scattered in the streets toremember the victims and celebrate the victory of the spirit of the people, like in Romantimes.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday emailed back saying Joshua's suggestionwould form a key part of the September 11 commemorations.
"I can't believe that I'm on the other side of the world and my idea has been takenon board," Joshua told the paper.
"I just had a feeling I wanted to do something and be part of it."
