View all 22 ReflectionsDear Herman,
I was looking for some information and in doing so was lead to this page. I reflect back to the times when you and Officer Greene would pick me up in the morning and take me to work when I was a cadet and you two were assigned to the Central District. Sometimes I would be running just a little late but you never left me. You watched me grow up in the department and witnessed me reach the rank of lieutenant. Well, Big Brother, just to let you know that I went further up the ladder....and after retirement became a lawyer and college professor.
Thanks for having been you in your lifetime Big Brother....Continue to rest in peace.
