My Cousin Ray Dodge (Know as "Chip") came to my defense when I first received my Driver's License when he was a Cop in Hornell NY back in the early 70's. The Hornell cops kept pulling me over thinking I was too young to have a Driver's License (No photo ID back then). Chip was murdered just a few weeks after my wife and I were married. Occasionally visit his grave in the Farview Cemetary (Karr Valley Road) along with more of my family including my mom and dad. Total injustice his murderer (Little) was paroled only a few years after Chip's death. He should have spent the rest of his life in prison.
