A Reprint September 8, 2023

A special gift was given by God on June 3, 1982, at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Beverly Hills, California, at 12:13 a.m.

Fast forward 22 years, 3 months, 2 days - Thursday, September 8, 2004, my beautiful, gifted daughter ascended to God, Manhattan, New York, on the FDR Freeway.

===============

The theme of this Citigal issue is "Relationships".

I was asked by co-publisher, Melanie Beres, CITIGAL Magazine to write the center article for the summer of 2007.

    My article highlights personal SNAPSHOTS of a special relationship with my daughter, Yvette Terease Flagg.  The relationship started in my womb and continues today in her tomb.  This article highlights various relationships along the way - during my pregnancy, grief training, daily efforts of keeping her alive, but most of all, the blessings of Jesus that have helped me open the window wide to the world of grief, and the adjustment that is daily.

Pregnancy in the Womb

    Never was a woman as happy inside as I was when my physician, Dr. Lewis Wyatt, Los Angeles, California told me that I was pregnant - in October 1981.

    It was a status I had dreamed about.  It was a position of love, honor and privilege - so taught by my Mother, Mrs. Jeanette Bond Glass.  At 36 years old, I thought that I would be left out.  So from the moment I was told, I engaged in a RELATIONSHIP of   LOVE through discovery.  The months of pregnancy were filled with wonderment.  Why, I would laugh, talk, take the baby to lunch, go sightseeing, listen to special music for her enjoyment (mine, too), and watch my stomach grow.

    Dr. Wyatt, Obstetrician and Gynecologist had been referred a few years back by friend, co-worker, and mother-expert, Daarina Ali.  She and I taught American and foreign students (African, Latino, and Asian) at Los Angeles Business College.  We would often talk of my desire for a child.  She had three children and made it a point to be knowledgeable, about health and children.  

    Daarina shared a special book from her personal library that gave the timeframe and stages of development of a baby.

    So, I believe I clocked the time Buddie, the affectionate nickname I gave Yvette, received the hair on the back of her neck.  

    Also, Daarina had advised me that the recurring "heartburn" that I was experiencing in the final trimester was due to Yvette having a head of hair.  She was right; Buddie came with a head full of black curly hair.

Baby and Me

    I feel I had an enviable pregnancy - 2 minutes of morning sickness in the whole process.  I think it was the smell of sausage that did it.  The other time she made her presence known was when I was late eating one morning and she was hungry.  Boy did she kick, but just as soon as I down the first two bites of the regular diet, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, and milk, she settled down.  

  That incident of kicking revealed to me the fine-tuned relationship of my body and its "host" position for my baby.

    Eating was always special to Yvette.  As an adult, she was weight and health-conscious.  She meticulously prepared food with exact ingredients.  As a toddler, she ate food separately; all the meat, then all the vegetables, then all the fruit, etc.  She did not mix the foods until after she went to daycare school.

    Being over 35, Dr. Wyatt scheduled me for an amniocentesis test - a surgical procedure for obtaining a sample of amniotic fluid by inserting a hollow needle through the abdominal wall to detect genetic defects or possible obstetric complications.  His reason was to see if my baby had Down syndrome, sickle-cell anemia, etc.  It also gave gender.  I wanted to know all.

    Every part of my pregnancy included "relationships" that were memorable and provided discovery.  My amnio test was given at the UCLA Women's Center on a sunny and pleasant day.  I lived in Culver City and UCLA is West LA-Brentwood area, about 20 minutes by bus.  Even though Dr. Wyatt had reassured me that the center was well-known and respected, I was concerned that they would harm my baby.  I feared they would stick her with that long needle.

On the day of the test, the technicians constantly reassured me that "Buddie" would not be harmed.  In a short period of time, the test was over.  Glad to be over the test, I treated Yvette and I to an ice cream cone - it was followed by a pleasant ride on the bus.  A few weeks later, I found out all was well and I would have a girl.  The episode stands out in my mind and causes a chuckle.

My Righteous anger/Indignation is an assessment of my right/wrong agreement of behavior for ALL




September 8, 2023

Righteous anger, is my way of evaluating, assessing me, and my fellowman in the public square.  It is used in civil rights, rule of law, and color of law critical thinking for accountability.

#1

Our society is what it is when it comes to how my CORE CONSTITUENTS - African Americans, Other People of Color, and the Work Challenged are treated in the global public square.

#2

I distinctly look at LACK OF TRUST, DISCRIMINATION, SEGREGATION, MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY, WILLIE LYNCH TACTICS, INTIMIDATION, GREED, RACISM, MURDER, LIES, PRIVILEGES (all kinds), DISRESPECT, and MISUSE OF  CIVIL RIGHTS OF THE US CONSTITUTION.

#3

I distinctly look at ELECTED, APPOINTED, HIRED, AND DONOR FOR-HIRE GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS DECISION MAKING.

#4

I distinctly look at the LACK OF RESPECT FOR the OATH OF OFFICE.

======================================>

PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Milwaukee Bucks’ Peter Feigin on first GOP debate: We want to be a ‘platform’


**************************

AUGUST 30, 2023
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
LISTEN TO THIS
"UNGRATEFUL SLUG".
NOTICE HOW THIS DRUNK/DRUG-LOOKING GUY DISREGARDED THE CITIZENRY OF MILWAUKEE.

HE IS THE PERSON WHO SPOKE OUT ABOUT MILWAUKEE BEING THE MOST SEGREGATED AND RACIST PLACE - TOM BARRETT, MAYOR FORCED HIM TO DECLINE COMMENTS.

HOW COULD HE DO IT?

===============

AFRICAN AMERICANS, OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND WORK CHALLENGED, YOU ARE CONTINUOUSLY
LEFT OUT BY THE SO-CALLED BUCKS PRESIDENT, OWNERS (OLD/NEW), PLAYERS, NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION AND FISERV.
WHY?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
==============
WHERE ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN PLAYERS OF THE BUCKS TEAM?


                                               Giannis Antetokounmpo
ESPECIALLY Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brothers.
Where is the WIFE and MOM?
===============
Giannis, his brothers, and his MOM KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS REMEMBER THEIR STATUS IN GREECE AND AFRICA BEFORE THE BIG MONEY AND SEPARATISM.
===============
WHAT PLATFORM "PETER FEIGIN"?
"YOU UNGRATEFUL CRUDE OF PRIVILEGE".
===============
Mary Glass, Milwaukeean, said, "I DO NOT LIKE HOW PETER FEIGIN DISREGARDED US - MILWAUKEEANS WHO UNDERWENT THE 30-YEAR 'CHEAPER TO KEEP THEM' LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWED THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS TO REMAIN IN MILWAUKEE, RECEIVE HIGH-VALUED REAL ESTATE, AND REMAIN ON THE BOOKS TODAY".
===============
NOTICE HOW FEIGIN DISMISSES THE MASSIVE BROWNFIELD FUNDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING FOR EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

THE GOP HOST FROM FOX GAVE THIS GUY AT LEAST TWO (2) SHOTS AT SHOWING HIS WORTHINESS AND ANNOUNCING HOW THE BUCKS ARE PARTNERS WITH THE TAXPAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. NOTHING.

THIS RUDE MAN SAID NOTHING OF THE $1 GIFTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BUT HE AND THE HOUNDS TOOK OUR MONEY.
HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT OUR MILLIONS.
                   HERB KOHL FORGOT MILWAUKEEANS

THE CAUCASIAN HEDGE FUND GUYS AND POSSE

HERB KOHL - EX-WI SENATOR AND HEDGE FUND MARC LASRY, AND WES EDEN STOLE THE FUTURE FROM OUR COMMUNITIES - 15 DISTRICTS IN MILWAUKEE.
Click the photo to Enlarge
HERB KOHL AND BUCKS' BUYERS WERE ASSISTED BY "SELL-OUTS/UNWISE MEMBERS" OF THE COMMON COUNCIL. INDIVIDUALS WHO "FAILED" TO PROTECT US.
THAT IS WHY EACH OF US MUST WAKE UP AND STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS AND REAL ESTATE - WE MUST PUT A BRIDLE ON OUR FUNDS AND THE VOTES
FOR THE SELLOUT ABOVE and other economic issues.

WE ARE BEING STOLEN BLIND BY GREEDY FOLKS - MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY. THEY ARE CAUCASIANS, AFRICAN AMERICANS AND ON-THE-TAKE THIEVES.

IF YOU NOTICE THEY ARE CONTINUING TO SCAM, USE SMOKE & MIRRORS, AND SPEND OUR GOVERNMENT FUNDING WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION.

THEY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MONOPOLY-OLIGOPOLY BEHAVIOR.
=================>
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE, AND JUDICIAL BRANCH BEHAVIOR GIVES PETER FEIGIN THE WILL AND EXCUSE TO DISRESPECT THE MILWAUKEE TAXPAYERS SPEAKING TO A GOP HOST WHILE VISITING THE FOX DEBATE VIDEO.

HERE'S TO Father Mike Hammer - the Gentle Giant of St. John Cathedral in Milwaukee, WI

 Fr. Mike Hammer February 9, 1943 - June 14, 2023



AUGUST 19, 2023

===================

REMEMBERING FATHER MIKE, A Priest I admire/admired with deep devotion.

While I was On the Road and out of Milwaukee on June 14, 2023, he slipped away.  

Father Mike was special for many ways.  I sought his HUGS whenever I saw him.

He was a member of the neighborhood around St. John Cathedral.

He lived across the street from METRO MART on Van Buren and Juneau.  He grew HERBS AND FLOWERS on his top floor balcony of his apartment.  He loved to cook.

He liked SWIMMING - a REGULAR at BALI FITNESS pool until it closed and then he did his daily swim at JUNEAU APARTMENTS.

Being a Lector

Father Mike would compliment me when he saw me for my Readings as a Lector at St. John.  He recommended me for the Channel 6 Sunday morning Mass on television.  It gave me a wider connection with the parishioners and experience with video production. 

            SLEEP WELL AND BE YE REMEMBERED BY THOSE YOU TOUCHED WHILE YOU WALKED THIS EARTH!!!

A Message from Stritch President Dr. Dan Scholz





1937 - May 22, 2023

AUGUST 19, 2023

=========================
ST CLARE COLLEGE (1937)    -     CARDINAL STRITCH COLLEGE (1946)

In 1946 the Sisters renamed the college to The Cardinal Stritch College to honor the former archbishop.May 18, 2023
*********************************
Cardinal Stritch University is closing its doors for good at the end of spring semester, a casualty of the demographic and financial forces haunting most every other higher education institution in Wisconsin.

"We're all devastated by this development, but after examining all options this decision was necessary," President Dan Scholz said in a video announcement. "I wish there was a different path we could pursue. However, the fiscal realities, downward enrollment trends, the pandemic, the need for more resources and the mounting operational and facility challenges presented a no-win situation."
