Family and friends as some of you may or may not know last September 5th I suffered a stroke. I was very blessed because of two things one my brother Lionel got me to the hospital, quick and in a hurry. And the staff at the hospital was awesome and did a great job helping me to point where the Doctor gave me a clean bill of health. The reason I am writing this is that I have been excepted to Tedy's team which runs three races a year to include the Boston marathon. I will be running for myself as well as the memory of my mentor, boss, friend, brother in arms and blue , he was a great husband to his wife Shelby Fontaine Cormier and a great father to his twins Brooklynn and Logan and last but not last an awesome brother to Jamie, Doug , and Jennifer! He also was a veteran of the armed service as well as a 18 year Police Officer for the North Hampton NH Police Department. Iam of course talking about my friend Pete J Cormier who left us on 3 Oct 2015. In the next couple of days I will be posting site information if you could either donate and or post the site information on your Fb page I greatly appreciate that. Thank you. your friend Bernie
