Tragedy Leads to Safety Effort

A year-long labor of love by Eric Cote and Ken D’Ambrosio culminates this week in Washington, D.C., with the launch of the Protecting People First Foundation.
The foundation’s national spokeswoman is Aren Almon-Kok, whose 1-year-old daughter, Baylee, was killed in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
The group promotes the use of safety glass in all buildings, particularly those where childcare centers are located. It also is working to convince Congress to appropriate funds for the protective products.
Initial funds for the foundation were donated by a division of New England Sun Control called Guardian Bastille in Smithtown, R.I.
