What a great guy and a great Trooper. Sadly, sadly missed. I can't believe 20 years has gone by so quickly.

He lost his life over someone going a few miles over a speed limit and for drugs that people has always wanted and continue to want. How does that make him a hero? This drug war is the SECOND prohibition that has failed. We didn't learn as quick this time as we did the first.

1044-He lost his life because a scumbag shot him.


I wonder if they're still doing the Eddie Plank memorial golf tourney? I used to staff it, years back.

I think you might have meant 1044. Be careful of those stones in that glass house you live in. Protecting roads? Suuuure.

It's called free and critical thinking. Something people in this area know nothing about. If no one tells them what to think they won't have a thought in thier heads.
