View all 15 ReflectionsPatrolman Sullivan was my Grand Uncle. His brother Patrick, a World War I veteran of the 101st Inf Regiment Yankee Division served as Boston City Patrolman and passed in 1969. I just got copies of his log books from the 1930s--amazing pieces of history. It is an honor to be related to two dedicated law enforcement officers.
