Happy Thanksgiving to all…

A few weeks back, I heard about the death of Ryan Shay, an elite athlete who died during the Olympic Trials in New York city. Then, I heard of the death of Philadelphia police officer Chuck Cassidy, and was further horrified to find out that he is the uncle of a former work colleague.
