A peeling and cracked wedding photo was found at the World Trade Center debris in the heartbreaking days following 9/11 has finally found its rightful owner – thanks to social media and one selfless professor who never gave up hope. For the past 13 years, Elizabeth Stringer Keefe had the same Sept. 11th ritual: She would remove the fading photo she kept safe inside her favorite Ernest Hemingway novel – A Moveable Feast – and post it on social media, hoping its owner or any of the people in it could be identified and found.
Every year, her quest seemed fruitless – until last week, when the photo went viral and its owner, Fred Mahe, not only reached out to Keefe, but confirmed everyone in the picture is alive and well. Keefe told ABC news that the photo was taken at the Aspen, Colorado, wedding of college friends Celine and Christian Loredo, which took place just a few months prior to the terrorist attacks.
