John, I have Smith's in my line. Do you by any chance know what Chief Smith's first name was? Thanks Shirley --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Jazz up your holiday email with celebrity designs. Learn more.

Hi Shirley, I am ashamed to say that I can't recall his first name. One of his Grandchildren came to the PD back in 1987 and attempted to find the details of his Grandfathers demise. From what I can remember he was killed in a shoot out on West Iron Street some where around "The Red Onion" an old Juke Joint that was once in the neighborhood. For some reason I keep thinking Chief Smith's first name was Irvine but not sure if this is correct. As I stated in an earlier e-mail when I worked in Cleveland,OH the PD there has one of the main lobby walls covered with the badges, name plates and dates that each Officer was killed in the line of duty. They also have or did have a book that gave a listing of each officer KIA and a brief story surrounding the details of the Officers death. It was a nice momento for family members, a tribute to those who lost their lives and a history leason for young Officers. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!
