Under Construction

	My only picture if the half-built World Trade Center, taken in the late fall of 1969.

	I spent most of the construction period in the Army and have just a few pictures of the last stages of completing the South Tower. Left and below: In June, 1972, the South Tower was complete except for the uppermost few floors. View at left is from the Staten Island Ferry; below are two views from the Circle Line tour.
