DC Mayor Fenty Snubbed by Cops!
This just in from a group representing a lot of DC Police Officers...they don't want Mayor Fenty speaking at their memorial service!
This is no doubt a response to Fenty's actions following the slaying of 14 year old Deonte Rawlings by two off duty DC Police Officers last year. The US Attorney's office recently announced it would not be filing charges against the Officers. A departmental administraive probe is now underway.
Following the slaying Fenty angered the FOP by meeting privately with the Rawlings family, inviting them to participate in his press conference and paying for the slain youth's funeral.
The FOP had demanded an apology from the Mayor. That hasn't happened.
The Annual Local Police Memorial Service is tomorrow, Friday, May 9, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. Due to the strong possibility of rain tomorrow, the Service will be moved from the front of Police Headquarters to inside 441 4th Street, NW. (One Judiciary Square) in the Old Council Chambers on the first floor, at 11:00 am until 1:00 pm.

Hi Mr. Johnson,
My name is Lynnie and I have not posted a comment here since the tragic day I was informed that my cardiologist and yours was killed in a plane crash! Yes, I'm talking about the late Dr. Hector K. Collison.
I was scheduled to see whomever has taken over his operation on April 7th (my late fathers birthday)!
I was kind of excited to get it over with so that I could at least have a doctor who had information about my heart. You see I had my mitral valve replaced 24 years ago! Yes 24!!!!! God has been good to me! I know that I have to be seen by someone who has my best interests at heart, so to speak!
It has just been so difficult to return to his office. I came close the end of May I was scheduled to go, but at 2:00 a.m. on the day of my scheduled appointment, I called the answering service and asked them to please let the office know that I would not be keeping the appointment! The answering service asked if I could call back later, I told them I could not. I knew that I had to get some sleep!!!
I now have an appointment for the end of June and I do plan to keep it!
I know there will never be another "Dr. Collison", but I know that he would have wanted me to go to the doctor who took over his practice.
I read and re-read the homegoing program that we received on the day of his funeral! In fact I touch his picture knowing that it cannot bring him back, but realizing that God blessed me to have many wonderful years with a man, a doctor, a friend called 'Dr. Hector K. Collison', never thinking that one day I might not have him to advise me, coach me, love me, befriend me and even when I married he kept a picture of my husband and me in his office!!!!!
Blessed? Yes!!!!! More than I can say!!!!!!!
I just wanted to share that with you.
I pray that you are well and that whatever you do, mankind will benefit from it! You certainly seem like a wonderful person. God bless you and keep you!
Because He Is, I Am,
Lynnie
