The two, heading home after ice-skating, were critically injured when the Jeep driven by Dan was squeezed in a three-car crash that flipped the vehicle and tore off its roof.

Cori and Dan, catapulted onto the street, were badly hurt.

He blacked out. She remembers her back and left arm and hand full of unbearable pain.

"I think the angels peeled back the roof of the Jeep," Cori's mother, Charlene, told the Greenwich Citizen Friday after a three-hour interview with Cori and Dan in the handicapped-accessible apartment in Stamford that the Lantzes moved to when wheelchair-bound Cori came home at the end of June.

The place the single mother lived in Greenwich with her three daughters-Cori, Emily, 22, and Ashley, 25, had stairs. Cori cannot navigate stairs.

Letters to the Editor
Town has Mishandled Two School Projects

To the Editor:

How embarrassing for the Town of Greenwich. Here we are in the spotlight again, not down one school building but two. To the members of the Board of Education and our first selectman, do not think we - the parents of Hamilton Avenue and Glenville schools - will accept your continued nonsense. Our children will not be your victims any longer. We will not be dispersed nor will we go into the already deemed unsafe Glenville School building.

Guys, it is time to get your acts together and get our schools done. Stop the games! How many millions of dollars has this incompetence already cost the taxpayers of Greenwich? Every Greenwich resident should be as outraged as I am. The town can install pretty brick crosswalks and demolish Wiffle ball fields, but it can't get its schools done. Something is terribly wrong.

Kerry Dunn, Parent

Hamilton Avenue School
