Last nite as I returned back from Brooklyn from one of my #Sandy staffs moms wake..i remember getting lost on the same street, early after Sandy, as I tried to figure easier roads to return.

The road was flooded, desolate..like a  Halloween movie..

With that in mind..i remember how hard we worked and still worked..i sat down with Sesh and Tom too of my diehards for Sandy relief..Sesh my main construction manager, and inspiration…

And Big Tom, our Hopes retiree who went out for 20 months…as I went to pay the bill, the woman said thank you for all you do….thank you..for being here….so many still are not in..

Two years later…so many still are not in..

I called Tom McCarthy of breezy point…Tom…how are you man…he said Jimmy boy, we need to meet, your idea that Biden and Cuomo took, we  need to get the National Disaster university going….

On Jan 24, 2013 proposed a National Disaster University be created…at Suny Purchase the last speaker…to speak and the only one Ch 12 interviewed….i proposed with Cephan Kim interviewing me later..in front of the now defunct Moreland commission, and commission that has been damaged for lack of credibility…that a university be created…stay tuned….Gov and Vice Pres Joe..credit needs to be given where credit is due….

More important..no matter what party, both sides have not the capability nor the wsdom yet for recovery….16000 families still now in….unacceptable…..

Its time..stay tuned for my #Sandy special shows coming up…..

 

Yesterday our retirees helped us….and joined me for lunch..once a month we are joined…

We move ahead..we are blessed with so many who help us…the retirees with wisdom, financial support, sweat equity, families services and more are always there……God bless you!

Our work continues at our new Restore/greencenter/disaster center… with that in mind our grand opening is Oct 2^nd…join us!!!!!!!!!!
