    I'm not much of a praying man myself. Two things helped me. 1 the SOB killed himself afterward and 2 when I asked a County Detective (A former NJ State Trooper and personal friend a very short question, With what and where, he answered with two words. Shotgun and head. I thanked God that they did not suffer. They were asleep when it happen. I knew all the Millville Police Officers and Detectives that were there as I had worked with them before I retired. The Chief assigned a Sgt to transport my wife and I to the scene from the County Court House and to stay with us until we were ready to go home. My daughter was known to most of the Police Officers too.
    Thank you for your prayers. My Marine Corps training and Police training helped me thru this also.

    Friday 17 June 2011 my granddaughter, Lauren, will graduate from High School. At the graduation Scotty, my grandson, will be honored by the school. A cap and grown will be presented to his sister, Amanda. He would have graduated along with his cousin Lauren. She was 8 days older then him. I thought it was great that the school remembered him after 5 years.

    Currently serving as the Senior Intelligence Officer for United States Forces-Iraq, Personnel Recovery Division. Easily the most rewarding job I've ever had, being a part of a team responsible for finding our missing military members and American citizens and bringing them home.

    I've had 3 jobs since I got out of the Corps. First one, I was a Project Coordinator at Emerson Computer Parts (this was back when they made these HUGE battery units for computers) in Santa Ana, CA.

    Moved back to the East coast and went to work for Olan Mills (photgraphy - I made appointments for folks to come in and be photographed). Stayed with them for 9 years and transferred to GA only to eventually get downsized out.

    Been in GA for 18 years. After Olan Mills, I got THE best job I could have ever landed and I've been with them for 12 years. I'm a Receptionist/AP Clerk for a construction company.

    Really? Are you female?

    I just can't see many men bubbling over with testosterone being happy as a receptionist.
