FROM PAGE 6 time to research it because it really didn’t matter how many pages we had or if it made us the largest. We just add as many pages as necessary to include everything we feel is important to our readers. BUT. Now that someone has brought it to our attention, you can damn well bet we’re proud to hold that distinction and will proclaim it loudly. But hear me when I say, we’re never going to add pages just for the sake of some title. If its newsworthy, important or entertaining, there will be a page for it. If not, there won’t. 0,000 ..what it won’t get you. FROM PAGE 8 Chief as he’s been. It just seemed to come natural to Delbert. He’ll humbly tell you though, I always did what I thought was right and if I didn’t know what to do, I did something anyways. I just tried to make sure whatever I did was in the best interest of everyone involved and all of my decisions were based upon Grace and Compassion. I wish this great man, great cop, great chief, and great friend nothing but the best of times and much happiness in his hard earned retirement. May these years be kind to you, graceful, and full of much happiness!! I sincerely thank you for all the time you took to try teach me a higher path, not just as a law enforcement officer and chief, but as a friend and as a Christian. I’ll close with this; Retirement for any First Responder is a precious gift. If you’ll think back all the way to your Academy Graduation. You’ll probably remember more than a handful of names who tragically did not make this time honored moment in their career. When reviewed in such context, we truly begin to realize how fortunate are we after all?! Happy Retirement, my friend. God bless and thank you...
