He was drawn in October of 2002. His drawing is counting eight people.0:27It is safe to say that Kevin Dowdell has passed by this doorway.0:32We are aware that the walls we draw on are the backdrop of these men's workplace,0:37and that every valley of brick and steel in Manhattan has been traversed by these workers.0:43And so life goes on, new people, new beginnings, Manhattan unending.0:48As we drew, we watched a young lady unpacking her worldly possessions from this van,0:53fulfilling a dream and moving to the Big Apple.0:59So Lieutenant Dowell of Rescue Company 4, Queens,1:02trained to use roof ropes and scuba gear to handle hazardous materials,1:05wiggle into confined spaces,1:07sprints into action with a relaxed head and a racing heart.1:11He loves rescue work so much,1:13he chooses not to try for captain so he won't be transferred.← Location 199Heart Two · Location 200Location 201 →
