Most Recent Reflection
View all 8 ReflectionsCity Marshall Dave Break was my great grandfather. I have only met him thru his son Ernest Break, my grandfather. His character was surely admirable, as many traits of my grandfather sound familiar to the Marshall's. I want to thank him for his service and sacrifice for the City of Florence.
