Patrick,
Quite some time ago, you told a person who commented on this website that you would send a message to the current sheriff asking what he had accomplished in his first 4 year term of office. I missed the response, would you please reprint it?

Hey !

If you can find it on here good luck and copy and paste it so we can post it here or......Sheriff Bergin is very amiable and open and will not hesitate to talk to you and answer this same question for you personally so if you take that route please, send it to us.

Quite frankly I don't remember doing it and am not inclined to track it back.
