View all 23 ReflectionsI have still not forgotten you after all these years. But for you who knows where I would have ended up. You are always in my thoughts, always in my heart, and maybe still guiding me. I'm retired now. I had a career of over 40 years in one form or another in the criminal justice system because you took the time to encourage me.
