- Rob Ruth/Chieftain Tim Duffy, third from left, a retired New York Fire Department firefighter whose career ended as a result of the dust he inhaled on 9-11, poses with employees of the Carpet One store in Enterprise on Sept. 23. Duffy came to town to thank Carpet One employees on behalf of Building for America's Bravest, a program of the Stephen Sillers Tunnels to Towers Foundation. The program raises funds to build specially adapted homes for catastrophically injured American service members, and Carpet One has been a contributor to the cause. Duffy said he was visiting at least seven other Carpet One stores in the Northwest. More information about the program can be found at ourbravest.org. Carpet One employees pictured with Duffy include, from left, Dan Helmer, Jared Bedard, Ray Norman, Susan Norman, and Chris Stauffer.
