POLICE

Congratulations to Corp. Ted Collins for finishing his supervisory school training on September 25th.

Office Manager Debbie Donoway jetted off to California this week to visit her son in Los Angeles. Her itinerary was filled with rubbing elbows with celebrities and visiting all the hot spots. She just might get “discovered” out there and never come home. We hope she has the time of her life.

Happy Birthday wishes are sent out to Councilman Ray Carey on October 8th. May you have many more.

We would like to convey our deepest sympathies to Recreation Commission Secretary Kim Marshall and her family on the recent passing of her brother. Kim, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

On this day in 1967, chief Justice Earl Warren swears in Thurgood Marshall, the first black justice of the United States Supreme Court. As chief counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in the 1940s and ‘50s, Marshall was the architect and executor of the legal strategy that ended the era of official racial segregation. He served 24 years before retiring in 1991.
