I officer Mason only briefly as a teenager through a couple of former officers in 1978. He was a fine man and a good officer. Growing up in the Mantua section at that time,I and other teenagers at that time had megative opinions of the Police Dept. Officer Mason was AN officer who helped change my perception of everyday officers. He always had a smile on his face and was courteous to everyone. I'm not a police officer, but I am someone who knew him personally. Thank You
