I see your from South Haven. does Covert Twp. still exist? I use to work for Covert Twp. P.D. (probably before your time (78-80)). I do Fire Photography in Las Vegas, NV now. How are things in South Haven? I imagine pretty tough these days. I hope you have a safe and lengthy career. Best wishes to all there.
