Dave Birkett at the Detroit Free Press has an extended piece on the experiences of Detroit Lions safety Dean Marlowe and his family in New York City during September of 2001.

According to Birkett, he “is believed to be the only NFL player with two first responders for parents who helped in the recovery efforts.”
