  1. Dan, we are so happy for you and know the young people you work with will be blessed. Will miss hearing about your work with the city of Brentwood. We have kept track of you by way of 40 south news ever since Leeann passed away. Just so you know Frankie lived to be 21 years old. We had him 5.

  2. Chief, Connie and I wish you well and we are sure your fit with CYC will be an excellent fit. You have always been strongly interested in the youth programs CYC has to offer.

    Good luck!

    P.S. We hope the city continues from within!
