As schoolchildren we generally walked to and from school. For most of us a portion of our trip took in Main Street. We
recall these faces in particular, as Officers Dave Galligan (center) and Newt Taggart shared
the Main Street beat. We also recall Chief Schendel (left) leading the police force compliment during our
annual parades. Both Officers Galligan and Taggart walked their beats until their untimely deaths at age 63 and 54
respectively. Their combined years of service totaled 98 years. The Chief was a tall man, over six feet, walked straight
as a ramrod and was seldom known to smile.
