View all 9 ReflectionsI walked into Graterford as a new CO in 2016. Your picture hanging, there on the corridor wall, reminded me each day to stay safe. It’s as though you have watched over Graterford for the past 45 years; somehow still standing shoulder to shoulder with your fellow COs.
Thank you for your sacrifice, may you Rest In Peace.
