"Slim" was a great police officer. We mourn his passing.

In case if you haven't heard, the city of Bowling Green lost a police officer in the line of duty -- the city's first ever. Read it here. "Slim" as most people knew him by, was 34 years old when he was shot to death responding to a call of a man armed with knives. While the investigation is continuing, we know that his assailant was an illegal alien (touching off another round of debate concerning our porous borders and Congress' ineptitude on immigration control). I knew "Slim" very well. He was a very conscientous and personable police officer who took great pride in his work and was loved by many. He will be greatly missed by so many, including me and my family. American Bank and Trust is accepting donations to aid his young wife and very young children. Won't you please help out?
