Mr. Cronin spent 14 years at the weather service office in Sacramento, until his retirement in 1993.

Chicago Enforcers police football team defeats Philadelphia in championship (NPSFL AFA Member League)
Game was a chance to bond with other officers, relive glory days on the gridiron
June 25, 2011|By Jeremy Gorner, Tribune reporter
Unlike most of his days, Chicago police Officer Mike Gaines was not out Saturday chasing bad guys on the mean streets of the Southeast Side.
Instead, he was the one being pursued and tackled by a group of frustrated Philadelphia cops and firefighters after making an acrobatic interception en route to helping his fellow Chicago officers win the National Public Safety Football League Division II Championship.

Smartphone QR Codes
QR codes have been around for a while, and many big corporations use them. In the past six months, though, small companies in the U.S. have flocked to the technology, thanks to services that let them easily create codes. Meanwhile, numerous phones, including many Androids and BlackBerrys, come with an app that reads QR codes. (Others, like the iPhone, must download the software.) Scanbuy Inc., a New York company that develops and manages QR codes, estimates that 30 million people in the U.S. have a code-reader app on their phone.
Stay tuned for more QR codes from the AFA as we rollout raffles, lottery drawings, videos and other interesting info via these codes. By the way, we already have ads with our code in the NY Jets & Giants Gameday Yearbook Programs.
To test our code, just scan the QR code to the right with your Smartphone. | |  | |  | | | About the American Football Association: The American Football Association is a national 501(c) (3) non-profit, tax exempt corporation in its 31st year of operation and is dedicated to the advancement of adult (semi-pro) football from coast-to-coast.
