With connections to the surviving executives of Carr Futures, students at Rex Putnam High School, in Milwaukie, Oregon created a memorial quilt for the firm's victims. Messages from the students and inspirational quotations were written on small squares and pieced together. The back of the quilt features names of Carr Futures employees both victims and survivors.
