It's a well-known fact that First Deputy Commissioner Patricia Giorgio Fox has been battling cancer for about a half-dozen years.
Although she's petite, she's one tough cookie - not having missed a day of work while undergoing her treatments early in her diagnoses. But I learned Friday night that "The Fox", as Barb and I call her, will be out for a while undergoing more aggressive treatments.
We wish you luck and a speedy recovery, Commissioner. Now all we've got to do is get you to stop smoking.
