January '09 Brimmer
January’s Brimmer
2009, where does the time go? First of all, I want to thank Frank Gallagher for his service as President of AOH 87, personally, it was a pleasure working with you, thanks, Frank.
The newly elected President, Tom Healey has been my boss on the police department, I know that a lot of guys don’t know who he is, he will be a good leader, has experience, he was being considered for a Deputy Commissioner post in the police dept., he was the President of Penn Academy, A.A., if he could deal with the soccer Mom’s and Dad’, then this should be easy, congratulations Tom!
Okay, enough being nice, don’t want to hear from Bobby Murphy, left over from the last newsletter, Tigger when he was in Baltimore for the ND vs. Navy game, got into a cab for the ride back to the bus, he being this mathematical genius, think of rain man, but more on the partly cloudy side, anyway, he gets in to the cab and tells the cab driver, not to turn on the meter and he would give him $20. for the ride, the driver obliges, we get to the bus and driver leaves with Tigger’s $20., we found out later that everyone else paid $8. for the same ride, again, congratulations Mrs. Kiger, all of that money that you spend on his education is definitely paying off, for me, anyway!
Tom Wenger the Jr. leaves Atlantic City and exceeds the speed limit and gets stopped by a New Jersey State Trooper, Tommy tells the nice Officer that the reason he was speeding was because he was the God Father at a Christening and was running late, the Police Office, obviously, full of Christian Charity himself, tells Tommy that he will write the ticket as fast as he can, you can’t make up this kind of stuff!
On Thanksgiving, I went to a tail gate party with the Green Legion for my Thanksgiving dinner, just picture this, I am standing in McFadden’s backyard, bundled up with hat and gloves in place, eating my dinner with about 75 other people, the Brotherhood Mission on Girard Ave. has nothing on me, thanks, Quimby, you still are the best, speaking of him, he has a few ski trips upcoming, if you are interested, go to www.phillytrips.com.
On Sunday, Jan. 18th, our annual Beef and Beer fun/fundraiser will be held at Finnigan’s Wake, from 3P – 7P, the cost is $30. in advance and $35. at the door, I have tickets, if you are interested, if you would like to be a seller, that would be appreciated as well. Paddy’s Well with Paul Moore will be the entertainment, they will also be selling their new CD, “First Friday” where in the liner notes, AOH Division 87 is mentioned for being a big supporter of the band, also, for your entertainment pleasure, the famous “Door Matt” will be working the door, last year, we had over 300 people, this year, we are hoping to improve on that number, give me a call at 215 570 7385 or call Obie at 215 300 6332, I am aware of the Degrees that day, but you should be out of there in time to make Finnigan’s and enjoy the afternoon with AOH Division #87.
Thanks, as always, for reading my column, hopefully with the new administration, I will get a raise, it was always tough negotiating with Frank, I never received a raise from “no pay” job, I even joined Obie’s union to try to get help, but I guess having Tigger as my spokesman wasn’t such a good idea.
