Friday, the 13th, Really?

UPDATE: The Dedication of the Jack Drakeford Firehouse will take place 

at 11 am, May 14, 2016 

on Jack's birthday.

It is hoped that it will not take 47 years for his name to appear on the Firehouse. It took the 
Board of Education 47 years to put Martin Luther King Jr.'s name on the South building 
on the DMHS Campus and it is smaller than the other 2 names that appear on 
HS buildings.  Just an observation.

Did you know that they are dedicating the new Fire House to Jack Drakeford on Friday, the 13th at 11 am?

The man who represented the working class will be honored at a time when the working class will not be able to attend.

To top it off, he will be honored on a bad luck day, Friday, the 13th, when his birthday is on Saturday, the 14th.

What is the message being sent out to the 4th Ward people he represented for so many years? Is it being sent out loud and clear that we are not wanted there or that if we care we can take the morning off?

What is up with that Frank Huttle III and Englewood City Council?

Jack's name is there, carved in stone.
What can I say?
It is probably asking too much for us
to be able to actually see it.
