View all 19 ReflectionsDear Allen,
I appreciated all of your help and advice while I was working my way into a law enforcement career. You were always kind to me as a jailer and helpful as I was starting out as a reserve. You were my dad's sergeant the night you were killed, and the phone call I received from him hours later while living in Phoenix, is one I shall never forget. I am thankful you and my father share a resting place in Missoula. I am sure you and he have exchanged a few stories over the past 35 years. I have never forget you.
