Fifth grader Madilyn Gemzer wore a photo of New York City firefighter Mark Whitford taped on her shirt as she climbed up and down the stairs in Thornapple Kellogg’s Bob White Stadium Sept. 11. Classmate Jackson Kietzman carried a backpack loaded with books and his water bottle to simulate the air packs and hoses firefighters carried up the stairs when they tried to rescue people trapped in the upper floors of the World Trade Center twin towers.
