CONWAY — On a blue-skied day that was eerily similar to the Tuesday 16 years ago, victims of 9/11 were solemnly remembered in ceremonies in Conway and Jackson Monday on the anniversary of the four terrorist attacks.
In North Conway's Schouler Park, several dozen fire, rescue and law enforcement personnel gathered along with retired military and a crowd of about 75 citizens, including some Kennett High students.
