Smith Board Chair Shelly Lazarus is CEO of Ogilvy & Mather, a NY advertising firm which recently produced Brotherhood: A Book Dedicated to the Fallen 343, honoring the 343 New York City firefighters who died in the line of duty during the September 11 tragedy. Proceeds from the sale of the book, which includes photos of all the firehouses in the boroughs, go directly to the Twin Towers Fund and the Family Assistance Fund of the FDNY Safety Education Fund to benefit the firefighters' families. An exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York and an auction of photographs signed by the photographers will also benefit the fund.

John Pease, a Smith College custodian and volunteer fire chief in Hatfield, MA, heard about Ogilvy's efforts and organized the recognition ceremony. Accompanying Chief Pease were his wife, Jane; Brian Duggan, Northampton Fire Chief; Al Morrissette, Easthampton Fire Chief; Steve Coan, Massachusetts State Fire Marshall; and Dave Beaudin, State Fire Marshall for Western Massachusetts.
