Hi, I know this is off topic from genealogy, but it's like the ending of an era for some of us. For those who grew up in and around Muscogee County, you'll understand. For the rest of you, I'm sorry you missed knowing this man. I can honestly say he is known the world over and his scrambled dogs have been the world over also. We went to Dinglewood today for scramble dogs. The following was taken from a flyer they have there. Lieutenant Appreciation Day Sunday, June 9, 2002 Dinglewood Pharmacy 2 - 5 p.m. Presentation - 4:30 p.m. Lieutenant is retiring! In his honor, his friends - and there are many of us - want to establish a fund to help him enjoy his retirement and to create a "memory book" for him.
