In Memoriam: Antonia “Toni” Young, Who Loved the SS United States

February 10, 2009 - IN MEMORY OF ANTONIA ‘TONI’  YOUNG: The S.S. United States was lucky to have Toni Young as a passenger on two different crossings as she sailed over and back across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Le Havre, France.  Traveling with her family as a child, the crossings became powerful memories that informed her life with a sense of history as a world traveler and music buff.  She has unexpectedly passed away, and in lieu of flowers, her family has requested contributions in any amount be made in her memory to honor the preservation work for this historic American icon.  They each were America’s finest examples of spirit, grace and perseverance.  The Conservancy extends our most sincere condolences to the Young family, and our most humble appreciation for their generosity during this very difficult time.
