Thanks for service

To the editor:

Reading the Dec. 18 story about Lawrence Police Capt. Dan Affalter, we all hope that his doctors will be able to track down and arrest his would-be murderer, just as he has tracked down and arrested every murderer on his watch in Lawrence for 32 years. Thank you, Capt. Affalter, for your many years of dedication and excellent service to our community. You are in our prayers, and we hope that you will enjoy a long and well-deserved retirement.

Ruth Herpich,
Lawrence
