Peter Burton Hanson, 32, had mastered the art of living through the Dead — the Grateful Dead, that is. He believed that the group and its music would become classics, up there with Beethoven, Bach and company, and he tried to sway the opinion of anyone who would listen.


But that was him: passionate about his work and most things he pursued. When he took up gardening in the spring, he did not plant just lilacs and roses outside his two-story white colonial house in Groton, MA, he planted trees as well at least 30.


Peter, Sue Kim and their daughter Christine Lee Hanson were on their way to visit the Kim family and go to Disneyland when they boarded United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
