I am starting the week inspired, and I hope you are too. Last Saturday I had the honor to be invited to the South Plattsburgh Firemen Annual Dinner. It was not only great to see the camaraderie and how committed this men and women are to the safety of Plattsburgh . But a few things really struck me. Nina Coolidge, career as Administrative Assistant for 65 years, Michael Caraballo, 35 years of service, Erick Day, 35 years of service, and Judge James Joyce for 35 years of service. Their level of commitment and humble demeanor when recognized really speaks volumes about the kind of people we have in Plattsburgh. North Country Strong is the only way that I can describe them, along with the rest of the department that are ready to risk their lives for our safe every day and night.
Thank you Nina, Michael, Erick and Judge Joyce and all the others for your service, you are all really an inspiration to all of us
