Remembrance Scholar honors memory of mother’s best friend By Sara Swann asst. news editor

rowing up, Taylor Miriam Henry never really understood the weight of her middle name. But now that she is one of 35 Remembrance Scholars, she said she is beginning to fully realize what it means. Taylor was named after her mother’s best friend, Miriam Luby Wolfe, who was one of the 35 Syracuse University students killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing on Dec. 21, 1988. “I always knew I was named after her, but I guess I formed more of a connection with her after going through the (Remembrance Scholar application) myself,” said Taylor, a senior film major. But the similarities go beyond the namesake. Taylor said she knew as soon as she chose to go to SU that she wanted to be a Remembrance Scholar. Each year she volunteered during Remembrance Week, so when it came time to apply for the Remembrance Scholarship, there was no question about it. Remembrance Week is an annual event held at SU that honors and remembers the
lives lost in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. This year’s week runs through Saturday. “We knew right from the beginning there was a poignancy about her going to Syracuse University and being named after Miriam,” said Taylor’s mother, Tami Henry.
What is Remembrance Week? Remembrance Week is a weeklong series of events organized by Remembrance Scholars to commemorate the lives lost in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing.
Tami recalled worrying about Taylor flying in a plane for a class field trip to Washington, D.C. when she was younger. “That’s obviously a fear of mine — my children getting on flights without me,” Tami said. “And Taylor’s my oldest so the first time she had to get on a flight without me, I went completely irrational and I was freaking out trying to figure out how I could go with them.”
Tami added that Taylor was mad at her at the time because she didn’t really understand where that fear came from, but since then she has grown to fully understand the weight the tragedy has had on her family. Now that she is participating in Remembrance Week as a scholar, Taylor said she has become more involved in every possible aspect and the whole event itself has become much more personal for her. “(Miriam) would have been a huge part of my life,” Taylor said. “She would have been my godmother. Trying to put that into words for people, trying to put that into perspective for myself sometimes is really hard.” Taylor said she never told any of the other Remembrance Scholars about her connection to Miriam, but slowly they’ve all come to realize it. Hollis Kran, Taylor’s best friend since sophomore year, recalled one night last year when Taylor opened up to her about Miriam and her connection to the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. Kran said she knew Taylor’s middle name see remembrance page 6
SU seniors excited for new season By Jesse Dougherty web editor
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sitting on his couch in March, Michael Gbinije couldn’t resist watching an NCAA Tournament that Syracuse couldn’t be a part of. With a self-imposed postseason ban announced in February, the Orange sat out of the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments. Gbinije made a point of watching teams SU faced during the regular season. He wanted to know how his team would have matched up. He wanted to know how far Syracuse would have gone. In four years at Duke and Syracuse, he’d started taking postseason basketball for granted. But after his see basketball page 15
