September 2, 2002: Mrs. Lyn S Romano, Chairman of the International Aviation
Safety Association (IASA) today directed correspondence to ROBERT A. JENSEN,
Vice President, Planning, Operations and Training, Kenyon International
Emergency Services, U.S.A. concerning their management of the Final
Disposition of Personal Possessions resulting from the crash of swissair
Flight 111. The letter addressed the following issues:

1. By letter dated January 30, 2002, Kenyon indicated, among other
things, that Ms. Claudia Blakeney (a member of the Care team/Royal Canadian
Mounted Police) had agreed to sprinkle a representative amount of ashes in
the ocean off the coast of peggy's cove. Mrs. Romano recently met with said
Ms. Blakeney who indicated that this letter was sent before she had any
knowledge of this matter.

2. The first time Ms. Blakeney became aware of this issue was once a
family member delivered a "thank you" message upon receipt of the
abovementioned 30 January 2002 letter.

3. Mrs. Romano's concerns regarding the disposition were the subject
of protracted correspondence between the parties, however, it is IASA's
understanding that Kenyon did not bring those concerns to the attention of
Ms. Claudia Blakeney. Mrs. Lyn S Romano recently met with the latter who
stated unequivocally that her overriding concern was that all family members
were in agreement with the proposed actions outlined in the January 2002
letter (notwithstanding the misrepresentations concerning her involvement -
2 above). In the circumstances, Mrs. Lyn S Romano's stated concerns were
highly relevant and should have been brought to Ms. Claudia Blakeney's
attention.

Mrs. Romano has sought the following specific clarification:

1. What happened to the ashes that were not included in that
representative amount Ms. Blakeney received to sprinkled at sea.

2. Why the option to have all the ashes buried with those who lost
their lives was not considered.

3. How Kenyon felt it appropriate to indicated Ms. Blakeney's
agreement to act in the disposition of the ashes in their 30 January 2002
letter in the absence of her agreement and/or knowledge to do so.

4. Why it took Kenyon an inordinate amount of time to deliver to her
the information she needed in order to assess comprehensively the proposals
for final disposition as set out in the aforementioned 30 January, 2002,
letter.

Quoting from the correspondence "Each family member has, at the very least,
a right to take part in such decisions. No matter the cost associated, no
matter the time expended.".

May all the souls who were killed four years ago this very day, rest in
peace.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lyn S. Romano
