Although Windermere officials have canceled all town events through the end of the year, some residents decided to hold their own remembrance ceremony for the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attack. The observance was held behind Town Hall through the Windermere Never Forgets 9/11 Preservation Committee. Lenny Crisci and Elsie Cintron Rosado — who lost a brother and a daughter on Sept. 11, respectively — were the guest speakers. Attendees were given masks and social distancing was encouraged.
