Officer Nink I never met or knew you but RV had good things to say about you. The young greenhorns from 1980 found your memorial plack and had it placed in honor. Rest easy sir and may gods light shine on you for etirnity. You were sent a fellow officer in 1994 may you both comfort each other until the rest of us arrive. Ralph #108
