I remember my paternal uncle, the retired senior investigator, telling me that the NYC police and the group doing their pension fund would try to get a delay after delay ......hoping my cousin would give up in frustration as it dragged on. He grew up in the same rural neighborhood as my uncle, the father-grandfather of the victims, a friendship of about 75 years then. He said do not let frustration enter your minds -- stay focused, and keep fighting. Never give up. And that's exactly what my cousin did.
