International fame

Jeff came home from work tonight and said, "Hey AJ, remember when we went to Canada last year? Because they remember you!"

EH?!?

Jeff spent the day north of the border, representing the DPD at the funeral of a Thunder Bay police chaplain. While there, Jeff got to talking with a Canadian Mountie we'd met last September when Jeff took part in a law enforcement memorial event. The Mountie remembered meeting AJ at the luncheon following the ceremony, and said there are actually pictures of him on the Thunder Bay Police Youth Corps website.

Don't believe me? Here they are:

If you want to see for yourself, go to the website, then click on "photos", "2009/2010" and "Police Memorial". Scroll all the way down and there we are. By my count, if you go to the seventh to last shot, you can see Jeff carrying the U.S. flag. The fourth to last shot shows the entire family eating. And then the last two photos are the ones I copied here.

I called AJ over to the computer so that he could see the photos. He grinned, remembering the day, then said, "Hey Dad, he's got a haircut just like you!"
