Well it’s been 12yrs later, and I think you deserve an update. I won the scholarship back in 2013, my senior yr at Schenectady High. I then went to Utica and graduated with a B.S in CJ. From there I moved to Vermont and joined the Essex Police Department, where I’ve been a patrolman for 5yrs. So I also kept my promise to you! Thanks for the motivation and teaching me and other what the ultimate sacrifice is. I’ll come visit you, when I’m back in VT. God Bless you Vert, I’ll continue the watch. #91
