ACTIVE AND RETIRED POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023
“Tempus Fugit” in Latin means “time flies.” All good things must come to an end. As we go through life, there is a last time for everything. None are easy, and this one is no exception. The day has come, my dear members and friends, for me to publish my last Grapevine article.
From the first day of my first shift at fire station #3 to the last day of my thirty-five-year career, I was blessed to serve alongside some of the finest firefighters and paramedics in the United States. Their professionalism, integrity, courage, and selfless service was exemplary. I treasure the life-long friendships and the wonderful memories from those times.
As a member of the Retiree’s Association, I was able to continue those relationships and cultivate new ones with many active and retired police officers. Once elected to the Fire and Police Health Fund, my circle of friends broadened even more.
Writing the news and health articles for the Health Fund and the Retiree’s Association gave me the opportunity to remain informed on the issues concerning members, such as their health, survivor benefits, physical fitness, wills, as well as their personal experiences. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to have served you and the greater San Antonio community. Even though I am signing off, I hope our lines of contact remain open as I move on to my next chapter.
Now, my dear friends, I will say goodbye and wish everyone and your families, God speed, good health, and good fortune in all your future endeavors.
Henry Trevino
