Historical Notes
Born in Rochester, New York, Charles Zion lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife, Carole, and their teenage son, Zachary. When Charles took up golf, Carole and Zachary did too, so they could play together. After work as a senior vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald, Charles relaxed with another hobby: knitting. On September 11, he was at work on the North Tower’s 103rd floor. He was 54 years old.

Curator's Comment
Charles Zion once told his sister that “happiness is a byproduct of success.” When it came to golf, however, he embraced the game’s more humbling outcomes. He had the word LOST printed on his golf balls, which let him tell his fellow golfers that all the lost balls were his. When Charles took up the game, his wife was happy that he had found an activity that required him to leave his office. Soon, she and their son learned the game, so that the family could enjoy more time together.
