Ed, on Aug. 16, my car broke down on Route 295 south, and a wonderful state trooper stopped and helped me. I wanted to thank him in Backtalk. He’s Trooper K. Saganowski. He stopped when he saw my car was smoking, jumped right out and allowed me to get to the shoulder. He made sure I was okay, called AAA for me, put flares behind my car, and waited a while. He was patrolling up and down 295 and said he had to check on a few things, but would come back to see if I was still there. Well, AAA came within 15 to 20 minutes and took care of me. I want to thank him and to say there are lots of good things about our state troopers and the State Police as well.

Damsel in Distress

You mean “K-Sag” helped you out? I know “K-Sag.” He’s good people. He’s a great trooper. He’s got a real future as a trooper/rapper, if he ever gets around to cutting the CD. In fact he once gave me a ticket for going under the speed limit. He’s a wonderful guy... I think. Actually, I don’t know the guy at all, but I just wanted to give him a nickname. Now I’m really going to get a ticket.
