Gladstone, NJ-September 17, 2001-Robert C. Standish, Executive Director of the United States Equestrian Team (USET) announced, "On behalf of the USET staff, Olympic riders and the members of the Gladstone Antiques Show Committee, I want to express our profound sympathy to the families of the victims of last Tuesday's tragedy, many of whom are residents of our local area and have been personally touched by these devastating events.

"After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to proceed with our annual benefit, the Gladstone Antiques Show, September 22-23, and to use it as an opportunity to raise funds for disaster relief.

We are deeply appreciative to each of the fifty antiques dealers who wish to show their support for the rescue efforts by donating an antique towards a silent auction at the show. All proceeds from this sale will go directly to the American Red Cross Disaster Fund."
