To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 58th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

As a former Princeton resident, I read the plaque on the tennis wall at Riverside Elementary last year (2011). I feel deeply for the families of those lost, and commend the heroic actions of Mr. Ellis.

My last name is Ellis and I lived in Princeton, NJ from 1974 to about 1990. I heard of this incident when I attended the public schools and I made a special plate with the names of the boys that had passed on. They were posted on the side of the tennis wall at Riverside Elementary school. I'm not sure if it still stands today.

You Gave your Life trying to save others. YOU ARE A HERO.

GOD BLESS YOU
