Most Recent Reflection
View all 8 ReflectionsI’m not exactly sure how I am related, but I think John Oscar was a great great uncle.
I want to add that there are several in John’s family tree that have taken this great profession of law enforcement.
I am now serving at 30 years as a deputy sheriff in Florida and now Georgia, I also have a brother that’s about to retire from the Secret Service.
