It is almost criminal that incompetence at the highest levels of the government allowed a very cost effective program that was actually accomplishing something to fail. All the blame for this failure can correctly and rightfully be placed on the senior managers of NDIC. I really miss the people I worked with and the job I was doing but I definitly don't miss the management or the agency. Take care Ralph.

Better yet, how those horrible entities disrupted the lives of so many families. I sincerely hope that any future private and/or public sector endeavors of those responsible for the center's closure fail miserably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070886.post-25879541415971523362012-08-07T05:08:59.053-10:002012-08-07T05:08:59.053-10:00Wonderful, just wonderful.

And I ride! <br /><br />I'm A cowboy, on a steel horse I ride <br /><br />I'm wanted (wanted) Dead or alive <br /><br />I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back <br /><br />I play for keeps, 'cause I'm not coming back <br /><br />I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall <br /><br />I've seen a million faces an I'm rockin' on <br /><br />I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride <br /><br />I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive <br />I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side <br /><br />I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive <br />And I ride, dead or alive <br /><br />I still drive, dead or alive <br /><br />Dead or alive....<br /><br />[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bon+jovi/wanted+dead+or+alive_20022260.html ]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070886.post-37143023090895051392012-08-06T12:28:22.809-10:002012-08-06T12:28:22.809-10:00Ralph, very sentimental article.
