Summary
A 10-year-old boy at the time of the terrorist attack, which resulted in his father’s plane crashing in Shanksville, Penn., the now 34-year-old Greene mostly has a collection of old home videos to remember him by. So when his mother Claudette, 74, was diagnosed with stage-three lung cancer, he quickly acted to record her memories. When he started asking her the questions like “How did you get to elementary school as a kid,” she lit up, surprised he was interested at all. “The thing that blew me away about that experience was how unmorbid it felt,” he said.
