Adjacencies

One of the reasons that the list of victims' names on the Memorial isn't alphabetical is that many names are grouped together. For example, all the first responders are listed together, as are employees of firms that were located in the World Trade Center like Cantor Fitzgerald. In addition, some names are placed adjacent to each other, usually at the request of family members, friends, or colleagues.

Here, we see that Guy Barzvi's name is located adjacent to that of Gregory E. Rodriguez and Marina Romanova Gertsberg. Visitors are not able to see the reason for the request to place the names adjacent to each other.
