Most of the city pulled some magic off and managed to stop by the stations to say thanks, and congrats. The food was a plus! There was a bunch of picture taking and I apologize for the few quick shots I got. Hopefully other pics will surface on other blogs. We were running in and out to make sure everyone could come by. I am sorry I don't have any of Markham. Among the on and off duty folks, it was great to have some of the retirees there. For young guys like me it was great to put the faces with the names. We hear the stories, it was nice to meet them.
A-shift isn't done. We have more coming up soon for retirement. Guys we wish you the best of luck, and a happy retirement. Thank you for your years of service to the city.
Here are a few photos. Good night and be safe out there. We'll return after 4-day.
P.S. FF Noell didn't retire....he was there for the food and the slow jams.
