My son Joe started dating a young lady whose father worked in a police station. Joe was interested in working there. And he came home one day and he said, “I’m taking the police test.” When he graduated, he went to East New York where I started my career. However, Joe’s brother, John wanted nothing to do with police or firefighters.u He wanted to be the “next Donald Trump”, a millionaire well-known in America. But in 1984, I came down with throat cancer. He noticed how the guys I worked with in the fire department took care of us. He decided to be a firefighter.
