A SOC guy, eh.  In the interview he described himself as an "inner-city kid" coming from a poor neighborhood.  I may include that on my background info to grab new clients; RN, an inner-city kid from Dallas, etc., etc.

Agreed Richard.  It's nice when people speaking on behalf of Dallas come across not looking like an idiot, but rather smart and knowledgeable.  Did you know David Brown is a graduate of SOC?  No kidding, he's the real deal.

I just watched a long interview on CNN with your Police Chief, David Brown.  I'll have to say, from my observation, Dallas has a spectacular Chief.  I know little about him, but on the national stage he's coming across as really genuine, articulate, fair-minded and definitely a decision maker.  I am aware of some of his background, personal losses, etc.  

At least, that's my take.

Thank God indeed for the smart Drs at UT Southwestern who were able to help Sammy and get the surgery done.  Now he can begin to heal and hopefully be going home by Mon or Tue.  Thank you Sarah for keeping us posted and to Ronney for posting it here.

Rod said what most of us are thinking.  It is so inconceivable that one crazy person can cause so much pain and damage to so many people.  This is difficult to process and very disturbing in so many ways.

Good news from Sarah regarding Sammy Smith!!
PTL, it's over and he did great! Going to ICU for 24 hours to be on the safe side. Possibly go home Monday or Tuesday! Thank you all for your prayers, concerns and love!

Any time a police officer or fire fighter is killed we all loose a little bit, they are all heroes and put their lives on the line to protect us. Mu son-in-law is an officer and every time our phone rings my first thought is about him. We have enemies that are trying to kill us and take our country away from us and yet there are those of us who still go after American citizens. We need to stop this and stop with the race card and take care of ourselves, Americans who will defend this country and that starts with the fire fighters and the police. It shouldn't matter what color the skin is, what matters is that as Americans we should be one, not fighting with each other. If we keep this up ISIS and others won't need to shoot at us, our doors will be wide open for them.
It disturbs me deeply every time our one or more of our protectors are killed, it is senseless and a huge waste of lives. I could  go on but you know how I feel and will always feel.

I'm so nervous waiting to hear from Sarah about Sammy.  Praying 3rd time is it and this surgery has ( is ) happening.  Sammy has been thru so much, pray his neck will be repaired today and then healing can begin.

Carol - I'm very sad and distraught over the violence in our country.  What happened last night is horrific!!

Thinking of you, Sammy.  You are a dear.

Also thinking of the people of Dallas and hoping that no SOCite was directly affected by last night's horrific events.  I am truly fearful for our country.

Love to all - Carol

Ronney - thank you for posting the text & updates you get from Sarah Smith regarding Sammy.  We are all concerned and praying for him.  Please God . . .  guide these Dr.s to find a way to intubate him and get this surgery done.  Then time for healing.  Prayers up '66 prayer warriors!!

Another update on Sam:
Well, here we are at UTSouthwestern. Neck surgery is scheduled for 1:00 tomorrow (Friday). But of course before the surgery, the doctors need to Intubate. As you know, can't do the neck surgery until intubation is done. That has taken on a life of it's own. I will keep you posted as updates happen. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Dang it Sammy, you just can't seem to get a break. I do hope this all works out for you and Sarah, you've had more than your share of problems. There is at least former classmate here in Oregon pulling for you both. Be strong and leave any worries to your fellow SOCites, that's something we are very good at.
I would have loved to see you at the reunion but that is not going to work out but I will be there in spirit.
