For Velma McAfee Williams, seeing her brother, Dr. Walter Samuel McAfee, posthumously recognized this past month as one of Marshall ISD’s 2026 Alumni Award of Excellence recipients was deeply moving. “I feel really excited,” she said, noting how special it was to see the district bridge the histories of alumni from Central, Pemberton and Marshall high schools. “I did not know that they do this sort of thing. This is the whole school district rather than just one high school, because there were about three different high schools that kept merging together. So, I never figured that he would be honored in Marshall.” The annual Alumni Award of Excellence ceremony was held in conjunction with Marshall High School’s homecoming festivities.

Nearby: Brooklyn, NYNYPD Deputy Inspector Daniel Fennessey, the 112th Precinct’s commanding officer, is heading back to Brooklyn. Fennessey said at Community Board 6’s Nov. 12 meeting that he has been transferred to the 77th Precinct, effective Monday, Nov. 16. The reassignment was news to him, too — it became official just an hour or two before the meeting started, he said. “I loved my time in the 112, I really did,” Fennessey told the crowd at Borough Hall. “Great community, great group of people. So I just want to say thank you, everybody, from the bottom of my heart.” He said it was “bittersweet” to leave the 112, which he has led since early 2025, but he is heading back to a familiar area. Per Fennessey’s online officer profile, he has previously served in the 77th Precinct, as well as the 75th and Patrol Borough Brooklyn North. Fennessey did not know who would replace him in Forest Hills, but said it would likely take a few weeks for a new commander to be named.
