Most Recent Reflection
View all 9 ReflectionsArthur Sullivan was my maternal grandmother's father. Though she has passed, she cherished his memory and often told her grandchildren of his service and life; as well as regularly donated to CPD and local police departments. His wife, Katherine, was deeply loved by her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
From what I know of his life was that he was originally from Saint Paul, MN and had hopes of joining the F.B.I..
It is nice to see other's still honor his service. Thank you.
