DANIEL
F. LIBRETTI, 43, of New York, a firefighter for the New York
Fire Department, graduated from the New York Restaurant School
in the mid-1990s and had a side job as an assistant pastry chef
at a French restaurant in Manhattan. Fellow firefighters knew
firsthand about his cooking skills. "He cooked us meals we couldn't
afford on the outside. We couldn't even name them," said Peter
Romeo, who wasn't on duty Sept. 11. Libretti also worked as
a private contractor and was building a pond in his home's back
yard. "The joke is, 'I wonder what career he's up to in heaven?'"
said his wife, Dolores. Copyright © 2001 The Associated Press
