Sometimes it takes a horrible tragedy to make you realize just how special your co-workers are. In the past few weeks, our region has been rocked by two senseless tragedies; the first in Webster and the latest today in Perinton. It's incomprehensible to think of what goes through the minds of those committing these atrocities, let alone the family and friends of those left behind, who have to ask "what went wrong?"
In both scenarios, the men and women who responded to these incidents displayed the utmost professionalism in the face of unimaginable horror. I am proud to consider these people my colleagues, and even more importantly, my friends. They have witnessed something that we're all trained to face, but hope we never have to experience, and did so with the professionalism they are expected to show each and every day.
To Alan, Ben, Dan, Dave, Kyle, Jess, Joe, John, Mike, and everyone else I may have missed, however unintentionally: thank you. Today, you are my heroes.
