Kind of like Pontiac

I worked in Pontiac for 2 and a half years. In that time, not one of my volunteers from the City was harmed in a criminal act despite the consistently high crime rate of the City.

Moving to Sheboygan I thought that this trend would continue. Apparently I was wrong. On Tuesday, I caught a brief story of a man being shot and killed by police while stabbing his estranged wife whom he had abducted the night before. I paid it little attention until last night when one of my volunteers pointed out that the wife in question is a volunteer with one of my packs. That was an interesting feeling. I don't know her extremely well, but she is a good balancing force in one of my most Scoutreach-like units. My first instinct is to make sure we send card over, but what would that say? "Get Better Soon, We're Sorry You Were Abducted and Stabbed" that's kind of weird. I'll probably ask the boss' opinion.

This was not what I expected to encounter in Sheboygan.
