Barbara G. Etzold
Barbara G. Etzold, 43, from Jersey City, New Jersey, lost her life on September 11, 2001. She was employed by Fred Alger Management in the World Trade Center.
The New York Times published this tribute to Barbara Etzold:
The Right Number
Barbara Etzold always answered the phone whenever David Konigsberg called for a friend who never seemed to be available. On one level, this was natural; she was, after all, a receptionist at Fred Alger Management. On another, it was kismet.
Two months into this strange telephonic relationship, Mr. Konigsberg mentioned in passing that he would be stopping by the office, and Ms. Etzold popped the question: "Why don't you take me out to lunch?"
The widowed receptionist and the divorced health-benefits administrator became inseparable. In 1997, a year after their first date, the couple moved into a house that Mr. Konigsberg bought in Jersey City. They would boat together along the Hudson River, snorkel together in the Bahamas, ride stationary bicycles together at a local health club. "She and I were just livers of life," Mr. Konigsberg said, referring to Ms. Etzold, who was 43. "There wasn't enough."
Then, of course, there was their Harley- Davidson. The two of them would zoom down to the beaches of New Jersey, to an arts-and-crafts community in Pennsylvania, or to the village of Cold Spring, in Putnam County. "You go up that Route 9W and over the Bear Mountain Bridge," Mr. Konigsberg said. "Especially at this time of year, when it's the most beautiful."
We remember you today Barbara. May you rest in peace.

Barbra was a special lady that I enjoyed many conversations with when making my delivery's . Every time I think of 9/11 I get upset and think of the wonderful person Barbra was and the tragedy that she's no longer with us. I always thought Barbra and David were the perfect couple.They just looked so natural together.You are missed and will never be forgotten.Rest in Peace and May GOD Bless You Barbra.
