She was a real B oops Witch......
Tho I remember the same day Local 36 was protesting the 136 layoffs, including urban cadets; The Progressives (the Black "fraternal" organization) was demanding a black fire chief.
Their priorities were so straight, many of those cadets joined the union when they saw who was looking out for their jobs.
But old SPK was a winner. And Eleanor Holmes Norton (the non-voting delegate to Congress) was no ball of fire either. A self proclaimed DCFD expert because her grandfather was a fireman 80 years earlier, she knew firefighting better than Tom Brennan (RIP). I wonder if he forgot to file his income taxes as well.. OOPS.
SPK, Miss "H & R Block" Norton and good old Ray Alfred damaged that Dept terribly. Glad to see my Brothers have bounced back from those dark days.
Stay safe, Brothers.

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
