View all 64 ReflectionsEven all these years later, Danny is still on my mind. We worked patrol together at Hollenbeck. I went to the Academy and sometime later he went to 77th.
I was older than Danny and he often asked me for advice, or just wanted to talk. The last time, at the Academy Fountain, shortly before his murder.
He was a good cop. I miss him.
