Just thinking about that night Fred, as I do often still 36 years later. I was one of the officers there that night when things went so terribly wrong. Fred was a great officer and good friend. I had been on the job shy of 3 years when Fred died. Fred has not been forgotten and I feel fortunate to have known him. Peace and God bless you my brother in blue.
