Prepared to Do A Good Turn Joe Csatari Boy Scout 9/11 Print BSA 24 x 18 Poster
From my late grandfather's collection. He served as scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 788 in Blue Island, IL from the 50's until the late 70's. My family was heavily involved in Scouting in general (I became an Eagle Scout about 8 years ago) and accumulated quite the collection.

"It was a bright spring day when Joe Csatari got into a New York City taxicab and asked the driver to take him to Ground Zero, the 16 acres in downtown Manhattan where the World Trade Center had stood.
Approaching the site, Csatari could see the enormous hole in the ground where construction workers, firefighters, and police were still working after eight grueling months to clear the debris of the fallen towers and perform the grim duty of finding and identifying victims. Then he noticed a policeman blocking his taxi's progress.
"I knew people weren't supposed to be allowed in there," Csatari recalled. "But I told the policeman that I had an appointment with a worker, that I was the official Boy Scout artist and I needed to take pictures for a painting I was doing."
The policeman reached down toward his gun belt, but the artist quickly realized he had no reason for concern. "He pulled out his wallet and showed me his National Eagle Scout Association membership card," Csatari said. "'I'm an Eagle Scout,' he told me. And after that we could have anything we wanted."
What Joe Csatari wanted was a firsthand look at the location that serves as the subject of his latest work of art, the official Boy Scouts of America illustration for 2003. Titled "Prepared To Do a Good Turn," the 31-by-40-inch oil painting shows two firemen, two policemen, and five Scouts volunteering to help in the aftermath of the horrible events of Sept. 11, 2001." - Scouting Magazine
