Happy Monday To You All & Thanks For Reading Blog 24
Regarding the apology to Mr. Dalla Valle in my last blog, I should have just done it in person though Rick and I have talked recently as he helped my Mom out for the St Francis School store in helping move items to the store that helped raise money for the school.
He complimented me,last December ( on live local Tim Driscoll TV show ) for helping him get him some winter jackets for clients when no other agency in town could help last year.
I just happen to be in the right place ( as Secretary and a Board member of FISH ) at the time and OTHER people got the job done,not me.
My last same critic stated I should have apologized to Mary Dempsey, to her, as well and not used the blog as a venue. I did , three times and have the e-mails to prove it.Mary is like me, stubborn about things but she is great at her job.
Moving on, today we ask you to guess where I was recently? Do these pictures bring back a beach memory for you? Can you tell me where this is by the boardwalk?
This is a great place. It is called a "dry town" and is about 30 minutes in either way of very famous places.It is known as a wonderful family place.We hope someone will guess where this may be and we may add to this topic on Wednesday,God willing.
We also wanted to thank Andrea for the kind e-mail last week as well,nice words.
We have decided also to continue dedicating my column to a great man or woman we see fit of noting.This day, it is a person still living and is truly a caring person.
Officer Robert Shopey runs the traffic division with the help of as few guys and Gerry, I hope I spelled it right?
Bob has brought big money to Torrington in way of grants,knows his business in the police department, is certified in accident reconstruction and to top it off is the Chief Of the Winsted Fire Department! He does get any job asked of him for any taxpayer,period.Chief Milano should be happy to have people like Bob ( Shopey ) that make him ( Milano ) look good!
You may recall the name shopey as Robert's family and son were injured in the fireworks display in 1990 at Fussenich Park.
Now,18 years later Bobby III is also very involved in the fire department and a great son,nothing more a Dad could want!
Robert, I feel you are a great asset to the City of Torrington and we are lucky to have you and your crew!Yes, I know there are some people that may have gotten a ticket or the new change where IF you got a ticket and needed something done at the MVD department,you had to go back and pay for that ticket,such is life.So, we will talk on Wednesday and hope you post a few kind or not so kind comments.Have a great day.

In your ever so humble manner I see that you are trying to make yourself look good, and important too!
Board member of FISH, I thought no longer. What happened?
Can't play and work well with others? Couldn't get along with the rest of the Board?
I did state that I would publish comments all comments that come to the blog as long as a eight year old could read them. That said , yes I did resign from the board of FISH , as a board member and do feel it would be unethical to post why I did.resign though have numerous e-mails from members asking me not to resign.
Though every week when I am called upon to clean out an estate IF it is something that is of value for a needy person we refer them to FISH. Last year we filled up a whole building with furniture that helped the needy.I am sure this person that commented does way mor for the town than I. So any gusses on the town? Any comments on Shopey. Hope this works as am posting this from a blackberry in an estate clean out in Winsted. Be well,md
