Officer Tommy McElhiney (the wife of a Lieutenant on the force) thought our mission worthy enough to lend a hand. She accompanied Officer Grant Gildon, who, using my camera, took the interior photos. Sergeant Mike Harris secured the perimeter and assisted in crowd control. Their help was invaluable and without it - you wouldn't be seeing the photos presented here. - Ken Rudine, June 2005
