View all 14 ReflectionsToday I was in the Multnomah Courthouse. I mentioned your name to a young Portland Police Officer, as I told him that you were my uncle. The officer responded by saying he knew of you. Your name is on many of the patrol vehicles, in memorandum. Tears of pride and loss for you, Uncle Bobby.
