Cpl Bordoni comes home

An Ithaca High School classmate of mine sent this link saying,

“For many years it has been hard for me to be proud of my hometown, Ithaca, NY. This changes that. The Ithaca I left 25 years ago is evidently not the Ithaca of today. Every police, fire and EMS agency in Tompkins and Cortland Counties honored this young Marine. Thank you Cpl. Chris Bordoni, for your service and your sacrifice. Semper Fi.”

It’s a little tin-hatty in tone, but I assure you, this stuff is all true. I was born and educated in Ithaca. I’ve lived in the general area for more than half a century. Think of all the images that come to mind when you hear the word “Berkeley.” Now beam that over to the base of Cayuga Lake in Central New York, squash it into a much smaller town, and you’ve got the picture.
