Author Who Dedicates Chapter to 9/11 Donates to 9/11 Memorial

Larry Goanos, a veteran insurance professional,  paid tribute to friends and colleagues he lost on 9/11 through the words in his book "Claims Made and Reported: A Journey Through D&O, E&O and Other Professional Lines of Insurance."

"So many people from the insurance industry perished that day," said Goanos, who devoted a chapter in his book on the events of 9/11. "I wanted to create a memorial to them."

Goanos, a Manhattan resident, did more than dedicate a chapter. Wanting to take part in supporting the nation's tribute to the 9/11 victims and heroes, he also donated $5,000 to the 9/11 Memorial.

The memorial was one of four charities to receive a donation from the proceeds of Goanos' book, which published in 2008. So far, 3,000 books have been sold and $20,000 in profits have been generated, Goanos said, adding that 1,000 more books are available. He said proceeds from the remaining books will also go to the four charities.
