Oh, thank you!

As for the square - here in Boston and in surrounding areas, there are town squares named after all sorts of people. I have no idea how you actually get a square named after a loved one but I am thinking they have to have either been in major league politics or a war hero of some sort. The YMCA nearby has a dedication plaque to a guy named Robert Rufo who died some time during WWI. There's no mention of him doing anything heroic, just that he passed when he was something like 21, 22 years old.

I wonder if you have to request it, or what. In the story, I'm having it that she has to ask for it. So it opens up a wound but it also is a way to give some meaning, for her, to his death. I used to work in a place where they had lost 4 people on 9/11 (Twin Towers; this was a temp agency with offices all over the US) and I recall reading the plaque at Home Office. These were regular folks, most likely just checking email or grabbing coffee or the like and then, suddenly, that's it.  I was impressed then that they were remembered by their coworkers - their fellows in the trenches, as it were. I've been approaching Hold Your Dominion as very much a 9/11 story, and as the 10th anniversary looms it serves as a reminder and as inspiration.
