Ich habe Dinah 1979 in Frankfurt kennen gelernt. Sie kam zum Frankfurter Flughafen und führte für BAT eine Promotion durch. Ich lernte Ihr Deutsch und Sie mir Englisch. Wir wurde sehr gute Freunde, besuchten uns sehr viel. Ihre Tochter Zoe und meine Tochter verbrachten Ferien bei den Eltern von Dinah im Mönchshaus. Wenn Dinah beruflich in Deutschland war trafen wir uns und hatten immer eine wunderbare Zeit zusammen. Bei allen Familienfeiern war Sie dabei. Unser letztes treffen in Frankfurt im Savigny Hotel erzählte Sie mir von HangKong und lud mich ein Sie zu besuchen. Es wurde nie etwas daraus. Sie meldete sich bei meinen Sohn am Airport Frankfurt und hoffte mich bald zu sehen. Wir verloren uns aus den Augen. Habe schon des öfteren im Adressbuch nach Ihr gesucht. Heute lese ich voller Entsetzen was passiert ist. Ich kann es nicht fassen dass so ein wertvoller Mensch nicht mehr unter unter uns ist. Ich werde Sie nie vergessen Sie lebt in meinen Herzen weiter.

[Ed. - I met Dinah in Frankfurt in 1979. She came to Frankfurt airport and led a promotion through BAT. I taught her German, and she taught me English. We became very good friends, and we visited a lot. Her daughter Zoe and my daughter spent holidays with Dinah's parents in Mönchshaus. If Dinah was ever in Germany, we would meet, and we always had a marvelous time together. She came to all our family celebrations. At our last meeting in the Savigny Hotel in Frankfurt she told me all about Hong Kong and invited me to visit her there. Nothing ever came of it. She got in touch with my son at the Frankfurt airport and hoped to see me soon. Then we lost touch. I've often looked for her in the directory. Today I read the full horror of what happened. I still cannot grasp that such a valuable person is no more among us. I will never forget her. She lives on in my heart.]

Sitting idly by my computer and Googling old friends, I was devastated to learn that Dinah Webster and Simon Turner, two people with whom I worked at what used to be just Risk magazine, are among the victims of 9-11. And that I had had no inkling of any of this for such a long time (today is 29 June 2004)...

Dinah was a wonderful, lively, breezy, feisty lady. Never a bore, never even a suggestion of fatigue! Very British and upright. I remember her once coming to the office after her flight from America had been delayed. Short of change, she had borrowed a 50 pence piece from someone at the airport to ring-in and apologise for being late (this was before mobiles, of course)! Her first job in the office? To tape a 50p coin to a piece of card, write a nice 'thank you' note and mail it back to whoever had lent it to her!

I also remember once furiously beating egg whites with her so she could make us all a strawberry Pavlova on impluse.

Dinah had served as a stewardess with Monarch Airlines way back, and I remember being slightly awed by her because of that.

A wonderful woman; a deeply sad loss! Rest in peace, Dinah!

Post your memorial thoughts:

Share your feelings and memories of grief and sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories.  If you knew this person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with us something about his/her life:

  • what kind of person he/she was, 
  • what nice points you remember about him/her, 
  • what kind of relationship you had with him/her, 
  • what you two perhaps did together, 
  • what he/she meant to you, 
  • or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging for other people.

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!

9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The revenue goes back to maintaining this site.

Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
