Visiting this month from Arizona and drove past your highway memorial. Later I researched you and the sad details from long ago. I grew up in
Maryland and have always admired the Maryland State Police. Thank you for all you did for each and everyone one of us traveling on these highways. Rest peacefully, sir.
