Triad graciously helped the baby of slain trooper

On behalf of the members of the N.C. Highway Patrol, I would like to thank the citizens of the Triad who supported the efforts of Chuck and Ed of 93.1 “The Wolf” during their July 11 fundraiser for the baby of slain Trooper D. S. Blanton Jr. I would also like to thank Chuck and Ed, Costco, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office and all others who helped make the fundraiser a success.

Law enforcement can often be a thankless and cynical career where officers wonder if their actions are noticed by anyone in the community. All of the officers and troopers who witnessed the unselfish devotion given to the Blantons by the citizens of our community have a new understanding of the support and commitment to us here in the Triad. We thank each of you and we appreciate your support.

Lt. Doug Monroe
Greensboro

Nice letter, however, I think The Wolf's morning team is "Chuck and Leanne", not "Chuck and Ed". Whatever. Still a great effort in response to a terrible tragedy.
