9/11, 25 Years Later: Through the Eyes of a First Responder
Twenty-five years have passed, but some mornings become history.
Terrance Revella is a retired Captain from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police. On September 11, 2021, Revella was the officer in charge of their New York City Region. He directed his entire unit to respond to the World Trade Center. He arrived on the scene as the second plane hit. Prior to the collapse he was assisting people out of the area. As the first tower came down, Revella himself became trapped under Building 7. He was rescued just in time for the second building’s collapse. As a veteran hazardous materials specialist, he remained on site for the duration of the cleanup, responsible for debris removal, dust suppression and hazardous material removal.
Terrance Revella served as the health and safety on-scene coordinater for thirty different agencies and served as the liaison between Mayor Giuliani’s and Governor Pataki’s offices.

Louisa Voisine is an internationally renowned Milliner (Ladies’ Hat Designer) and founder of the Las Vegas Chapeau Court.
A student of Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Family Milliners, Louisa’s designs range from Chapeaus to Downton Abbey-style cloche felts to feathery fascinators and have been featured at the Emmy Awards, London Hat Week and British Royal Museums.
Louisa will host a parade of hat fashions with her team of beautiful models in a one-of-a-kind fashion show.
Like the models, we invite you to wear your favorite little black dress and pair it with your favorite hat from your closet collections. We heard that the VP of Luncheons may have a few extras she’d be willing to loan.
This afternoon affair will be a bit more elevated and one for the books.
Hats off to WNC … oops … we mean HATS ON!
