Remembering Those We've Lost
A special section honoring those alums who perished in the attacks on September 11.
"These are trying times. We have so many
questions. I would like to suggest that one of
the answers is this: We have each other . . .
[T]his tragedy will bring us closer. That may
be the single most important memorial we can
build to honor those we've lost."

The following stories, gathered from various sources, offer a
glimpse of the impact these individuals had on others' lives.
MUKUL K. AGARWALA, EE'84, WG'90
'Here's Lookin' at You, Kid'
After he folded an Internet company in San Diego last spring,
Mukul K. Agarwala moved back east to be near his parents
in Kendall Park, NJ, because they were in failing health.
His sense of family extended to his friends' children, too.
"He would call every month to ask for a new photo of our
daughter, Riya," said Neeraj Mital, a friend since college.
Mr. Agarwala's widow, Rhea Stone, said that his sense of
concern went even further. Not long after they met in Hong
Kong in 1993, she said, he saw a newspaper article about a
mistreated domestic worker who, like Mr. Agarwala's parents,
had come from India. He went to the Indian diplomatic mission
and paid her fare back home.
Ms. Stone said her husband's enthusiasms ranged from
snowboarding to reading history to old movies. She could not
remember how many times they had watched "Casablanca."
On Sept. 11, Mr. Agarwala, 37, was in his second day as a
research analyst on software for Fiduciary Trust.
