Former Police Chief Bill Waltrip Recollects

Our July 25 meeting was interesting for a number of reasons. It was announced that this would be the last meeting that Paul Schnoes would be meeting with us as a member. He is moving to Ft. Myers Florida. With that announcement the members stood in applause wishing him well and God speed. Alex also had Joe Davis and Vickie Elrod display our newly designed banner and Alex being one of the few people in the room tall enough to hang it did.

Here we see Rick Debose talking with Bill Waltrip before the program began. Bill took us through the thirty years he has been in Bowling Green remembering both local, national, and international events. Some things were sad and some things were funny. It was a good trip down memory lane. Bill is now working as a consultant with Randy Capps' group and left us with a poem urging us to live in the moment and he showed us a placard he said was inspired by one he saw in the Reagan Library - it read "it CAN be done". Good job Bill and thanks.
