Congratulations to the graduating calss 128. I am especially gratififed by the graduation of Trooper Timothy Janosco, not only for following in his fathers footsteps, but for following forward with the commitment and dedication I would hope that I was partly responsible for inspiring as his high school football coach.
Further, I will also enjoy with great pride the graduation of Cadet Carrie Gula, who I had the pleasure of having in my command as a municipal offcer while at Exeter Borough.
Best Wishes, and BE SAFE
