* Notes:
If there are any troopers "out there" who remember
"Gentle Ben" [Badge # 533] from Post 9, the State Garage,
Slyvania, Lawrenceville,
Governor's Mansion, DOT, DUI Squad, etc , he would like to hear
how it's going with you. There are several retired troopers living
here in
Telfair county which proves this is a good place to retire. Ben
retired in 1988 and we moved here from Atlanta in 1996.
