 It's hard to believe that after 1110re tJU1J1 1(, veal's of running this Union, I'IIl addressing you
now as your recently departed president. {t is with mixed ernotions that I sit dowlI to write
this message. / have spent so loug thil'lking about tbe day that I would no longer be at the
helm of tbis great Union, and uilnrt that day would feel like, that it's hard to believe that
moment has actually arrived.
So many [riends, colleagues, and of course lJJy family, have said that there is life tlfter
My Final Correction. I hope I will feel tlrat soon. Since / offh,-ially retired as President as of December
31, 2006, / have bad OITly a short while to reflecl OIl lily time as C CA Presid eu t , to look bach
Farewell at where we were 16 yea rs ag o, and to see where we are 1I0W. So milch has changed in near-
Iy two decades.
I was [ortunate enough to haul' had a great mentor umen / took Oller th e p resid en c..y. some-
to the one who w as able to lend a guiding hand and words of wisdom. Alfred (M and y )L\vltwdllllici,
or Pop as I affectiollately called him, gt/LIC me th e knowledge and ad vi ce to do my job to the

Members vest of my ability. Not that { always took his advice. I didn't. I had to forge my OW11 path
(l/ld create a netiuorl: that would help nte take carl! of my Capta ins. And you were definite-
ly all my Captains - those of you still here today and those who bauc I011g retired.
By: Everyday I rejoi ce ill reflecting OIl a nd rem embering the lllallY important issu es that we
PETER O. MERINGOLO fought (or and won ... and the l11any lives ami families I was able to protect and save.
Former CCA President Looking bacl: 011 all of this, 1 realize that the se are my greatest accomplishments. Alollg the
way, it wasn't just Peter Meringolo your president, It LlMS Peter Meringolo your friend. I took
what happened to many of you ue,y personally, to the point where it might as toell been hap-
pening to me or Ill)' OWIl family.
l lcaue (be CCA with positive m emories of the last 16 yem·s. I baoe 1I0 regrets. Yes, / stepped
0'1 mallY toes along the way, and made lIIaTTy enemies, but my underlying motive was aluurys
to look out for your best interest . When the fight came to all end with a ioinning result, it
made those battles fill tbe m ore worthwhile. I believe in my heart that a union leader's job is
to protect the men/bel'S and their [amilies at ,my cost. As Correction Cap ta ins. we have some
of the most thankless, nonretuarding jobs in thi s City, although necessary ones. My motto-
One that remained with me [rom the beginning - was that each and evelY member must be
protected at all times.
Could I have taken a differellt path in running the UlTiOJT? The answer is no. / will always
believe that my job as your elected President iuas to be available to talk to, to be forceful
when force was absolutely ne cessary, to sue when su ing was the only way, to fight when
fighting was what uiould get the job done right. In doing so, and uiinning so mall)' battles
011 your behalf. I can oul» hope that / have made you proud that when yOIl put your trust
and confidence in me -16 years ago. you had JlO regre ts along the way.
Looking hack, / know this Union is 1I0U/ {1 milch different organizatio» than it was when
[ took over. We've gone through differ(~/Tt com III iss iouers, dil/crenl administrations, differenl
problems. But the underlying ba sis for Illy job as your President has always been the
same - to toke care of y ou and your [anuli es i1J1d get you euerything you d eseru e.
SOllie of you hnoe been here with me since the gel go, while others a re neiuer
Captains and are not au/arc of how diffel'ent the current times truly are. While it is
bard to say good-bye. know tbat retirement is //01 011 lJ1y agel/cia. / will still be active-
ly involved in the CCA, u/orhiug to make sure legislation th at we need to con tillite suc-
cessfully gets its due ju stice in Albany and at City flail . While I have retired as President
of the Correction Captains' As sociation, I baue definitely not retired from life. / I1TIl
looking [otoard to the many challenges ahead. l ioil! always be a pari of tbe CCA, as the
Union and its members were a major part of my life for so malTY years.
I want to thank all of you iobo called and sen t notes unsbing me well. The trust
and confidence you hove all put in me made a tremendous difference in all that
I did as you" President.
I hOIJe yOll all agree that after nearly 17 years , it was time for ntr to do what
I've told so many of yo II to do - give SOJ1le time to your [amil». /'11I loobing
forward to the time / can }lOW sp end with my fillltily and grandson. / leave
with my head held high. knowing in Iny henri that I've led tbis Union the
right toay.
