Because I have no grandchildren in Magee, I get very attached to young people who work with me. Michael Allan and I spent about two years together. I nearly drove the poor guy crazy! But he has been steadfast in his love for me.
Michael is a smart boy. Michael is a kind boy. Michael likes to help others. Michael has a soft heart. Michael knows pain (his younger brother died in front of his eyes. Michael loves the fire department. Michael also loves Molly Berch!
At the Tuesday night, September 7, 2021 Board of Aldermen meeting, Building Inspector Phillip Magee informed the board of a grant the Fire Department would be receiving to assist with purchasing breathing air systems. Michael took it upon himself to search, go after, and receive the grant! I am so proud of his grant writing skills. Michael knows the needs. He will find away. The FEMA grant is for $49,047.62. The City will match 5% ($2,452.38).
