Since September 11, students at Haverford College have mourned the deaths of four alumni lost in the World Trade Center attacks, three of them former student-athletes.

The Haverford student-athlete advisory committee, known as the Haverford College Athletic Association, planned a memorial run November 11 in honor of the four alumni who died. Sixty-eight students, faculty and community members participated in the run, which was held at the Haverford Nature Trail and raised nearly $1,000 for the Robin Hood Relief Fund in New York.

Those who died were: Doug Gardner, a 1983 graduate who played varsity basketball; Tom Glassner, a 1982 graduate who was an NCAA Division III qualifier in outdoor track and field; Calvin Gooding, a 1984 graduate who played varsity basketball; and Phil Haentzler, a 1974 graduate.

The Haverford men's basketball team also will mourn their own by sporting memorial patches on their uniforms all season for Gardner and Gooding.

Gardner was the executive managing director of Cantor Fitzgerald, and he left behind his wife, Jennifer, and two children, Michael, 5, and Julia, 2 1Ž2.

Glasser was a partner at the firm Sandler O'Neill, and he left behind his wife, Meg, and two children, Dylan and Lukas.

Gooding was a financial trader with Cantor Fitzgerald. He left behind his wife, LaChanze; a 19-month-old daughter, Celia Rose; and daughter Zaya, born in October.

Haentzler was an administrator at a brokerage firm on the 101st floor of One World Trade Center.
