Remember Robin well from our high school days at GWHS-Danville and community college. Us guys out double dating and cruising Riverside Dr. in his red Dodge Demon. Robin was first with Danville Police Department, his brother Ralph, too. Ralph later years with Texas Department of Public Safety. Robin came by to visit every time he was in town. Still miss him. Rest In Peace, Brother.

Every time I take a road trip I note the names listed on memorial markers throughout my journey. When I get home, I look up the names that I've come across so I can learn a little more about the man or woman listed on the marker and how they came to their end of tour.

While making my way from Georgia to Massachusetts, just a week before the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon, I came across a marker for Trooper Farmer. I hope that one of his family members will see this reflection and smile knowing that a perfect stranger has now walked away with a little bit of knowledge about their loved one and the difference that he made in people's lives.
