Ev,
I am glad I have been able to get to know your family over the last couple of years, especially your brother. Your voice used to crack me up on the radio, that even keeled gentleness. I used to question if you were petting a cat, having a beer, and sitting in a lounge chair on the beach when you were on the radio. I remember first running in to you the first time I came to Montana. It was funny we were both at Pendleton in the Corps at the same time. With that pretty blond wave of hair I figured you came off the beach and straight in to your patrol car. I remember you being in dispatch and chatting it up for a minute before going home, then found out about your accident the next day. All of us appreciate you backing us up at the FCSO when you were in the area, as well as all of the other troopers that do. You are a good dude and were always on point. Thanks brother.
