I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Wildlife Officer Albritton served with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission.
Thank you for your service to the Tallahassee community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
