A Day to Give Thanks

I’m thankful for everyone at UPMC Hamot who treated my mom – and our family – so well for 15 long days. I’m thankful for an understanding employer and co-workers who pitched in and helped during those 15 days, too. And, for my friends (including cousins) who offered help, support and prayers. I’m also thankful for the pumpkin caramel mocha at Rose’s in the Hamot lobby.

I’m thankful for lunches with Pat and Sandy at The Aud, and The Aud’s Tarport Burger; the Port Allegany Gators and Randolph Cardinals; Bret Michaels and George Clooney; Law & Order: SVU and Chelsea Lately; fall foliage and warm rain; Chautauqua Lake and the Allegheny Mountains.

I’m still thankful that Dr. Livingston Alexander and Sister Margaret Carney continue to lead my two favorite universities into the future.

As always, I’m thankful for the Bradford Area Public Library and books – real, pick-‘em-up-turn-the-pages-and-read-‘em books. (Nothing against kindles and nooks, but I really do like books.)

And Breathe Right nasal strips.

What are you thankful for?

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
