He was overseeing work at 2 World Trade Center on Sept. 11 — a Tuesday, so he had his sax with him for his weekly music lesson.

They trapped them in potato fields, where the birds prey on11) mice, rabbits and pheasants. “They just love nature,” Mrs. Hughes said. “Kris, especially, was one with nature.

If I went near the things, they would start pecking at me.” The brothers even worked together on the risk-arbitrage13) desk at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods on the 89th floor of 2 World Trade Center. About two years ago, Keith Hughes, 31, took a job at another company away from the World Trade Center.
