Dear Friends, I hope all of you spent time with your parents and your children. Today as in many Father’s Day is a day we must never forget could be the last year with your parents. Many people I work with at the City of Chicago, has a parent that is sick, or very ill. I hope you spend as much time as you can, visiting, laughing, and loving. This year we are planning the Sixth Annual “Boat and Brat”. This year will be different as we also plan a fund raiser for some fallen comrades that have lost their jobs with the Chicago Department of Water Management. Today is also a day to remember what is important, and it is not you. God Bless. Photo of “Deep Water” by Patrick McDonough
