To Maryland State Trooper Michael Kretzer, of the Hagerstown barracks, for the hard work and dedication that won him Maryland Trooper of the Year honors.
To Nettie Anderson-Simmons, for her decision to adopt six children five years ago, to keep two sets of siblings from being separated. Her kind, caring attitude won her Hagerstown Community College's Clopper Memorial award.
To Herald-Mail editor Bob Maginnis, for leaving the "t" out of Karen Johnston's name, in a May 22 item honoring her for seeking national teacher certification. Accept our apologies, please.
To all those residents of Charles Town, W.Va. who voted against the new police levy. Unless the Lone Ranger and Tonto rides into town, we don't foresee any free law enforcement being provided to the municipality anytime soon.
