Alison might never have known about her son's heroism had it not been for a red bandana he wore around his face. Welles got his first bandana from his dad when he was a kid, with the fatherly advice to always carry one in case things get messy. He kept a red bandana at his desk at Sandler O'Neill, and one day one of his coworkers came up and says, with that red bandana? Why do you always have that red? And Welles picked it and he said, with this red bandana, I'm going to change the world. and I think he's doing that now. On 9/11, Welles covered his face with a red bandana as he put his own safety aside, walking up into the South Tower to help bring others to safety. Alison learned of her son's bravery after she read newspaper accounts from survivors who talked about being helped by a man who had his face covered with a red bandana. He was just, fearless. Really fearless. I never saw him afraid of anything.
