unfolding.
The meeting was interrupted by
a staff m em ber who notified her

However, her 11 ight — United 93 —
went down in Pennsylvania when
the crew and passengers attem pted
to overtake the hijackers. United

family that G reen was am ong those

The Butler Did It was

Out o f the Shadow s Gala.
The m urder m ystery farce
features such characters as Edgar Allen Poe IV and A gatha Christie,
both o f whom suffered from epilepsy.
Kelly I.inss. house-scribe for The Tragedies, tells us, "W hen you
take a m urder mystery and rem ove all pretense o f mystery o r sus
pense, w hat you are left with is pure distilled com edy m oonshine -
strong, sharp and lethal ly funny. In a sen d -u p o f the traditional British
parlour mysteries. The Butler Did It dispenses with the ‘w hodunit?’
and leaves only the question o f ‘how will he do it next?’ A com bina
tion o f wry, intelligent dialogue and farcical nonsense.”

I wish she had been given more
lines, because she was a very talk
ative person. More importantly, the
film doesn't show it, hut we strongly
feel she was m urdered by the hi
jackers, because she was an atten
dant in the first-class cabin. We
believe this was the ease because if
she had had the opportunity, she
would have made contact with us.
but we d id n ’t hear from her."
The film is based on the facts
c o m p ile d fro m th e te le p h o n e
records, the black box, 9/11 C om
mission Report and over KXtfamily
m em bers who were interviewed,
which included G reen 's family.
W hen asked if the film brought
closure, Jam erson adm its it does
not.
“It’s really hard. Even though it
has been five years, it seems like
yesterday. 1 miss my sister every
day. She was not only my twin, she
was my best friend. I miss not being
able to talk to her. I miss not being
able to travel the world with her. We
had gone everyw here and we were
making plans to go to Paris.”
A fter alm ost 30 years o f flying,
her sister had talked more and more
about retiring her wings and get
ting involved in real estate full
time. She had already earned a li
cense and w orked as an active real
estate agent and office m anager for
N orthStar Realty.
