In a few days it will mark the 40th anniversary of Trooper Thomas L. Pryme's ultimate sacrifice, and we continue to honor him by keeping his memory alive. I had honored Trooper Pryme's sacrifice over my career by coordinating and participating in hundreds of DWI details, and by arresting hundreds of DWI operators beginning in 1981 while stationed at SP Ogdensburg - Troop B.
Trooper Pryme will never be forgotten.
