    1. Those shirts were given by Habitat for the Women Build Homes program. What would you have worn if you were community-minded enough to have been there working?

      1. Community-minded enough? Like helping Ken Dalling and Jacky Durrell build the Fairfield Gazebo, or Sherman School playground project, or the Fairfield Affordable Housing Task Force? Maybe it was when I was working hard for Habitat all those years, living in Fairfield and being shot at on the Brooks St project. Oh! Godiva, I’ve done more for Bridgeport and Fairfield than you have days on this earth. You’re just another blowhard on OIB, Godiva.
        So everyone, Middle Fingers Up for Godiva!!!
