-----Original Message-----
From:

Subject: Final Patrol

Ronald D. Tobin Sr., Age 76, DOB 4/1/32, of the Town of Tonawanda,
unexpectedly Rode his Final Patrol June 13, 2008, at his residence. Ron

I don't remember Tobin ever being on

order to reassign 13 highway patrol officers on the eve of the July
Fourth weekend.
