I apologize for the delay in responding to Jim's notice of our Search
Team. We were to be at the scene along a river bank at 08:30 the next
Wed. morning. At 08:45 I actually had 7 riders respond. As we are a
all volunteer, self financed unit I was extreamly grateful for our members
who took the day off their work places to assist. Our team has 11 members,
so 7 responders was wonderful.
We were able to locate items of interest to our Sheriff and the
Independence Police Dept. Further living proof that "ol dry, humdrum" of
practicing grid and good ground searching does pay off. Our out of town
training includes seminars at Osage Beach, Mo. and a seminar at the
Kentucky horse park. I have in service training on a regular basis.
