Drug Court Graduates

"This is our 23rd ceremony and February 1 will be seven years.  This is our largest graduation yet, with 14 graduates.  Drug court is concerned about what, where, when, why, and how . . . but also the who.  We roll up our sleeves and get involved in the community.  I will miss each one of you,
you are all special to me."
