New piece at the local.
These beauties date back to early 60s. Once thrown through the air by a ginger southpaw named Benny, like errant missiles let off by a nervous Cold War soldier’s hair trigger. That war was too big for Benny, but Benny was never too little for that war. 🥊
Today marks the anniversary of the line-of-duty death of Franklin Police Officer Jeff Carson, who died on March 26, 2022.
Jeff was a dedicated police officer, a loving husband and father, and a friend to so many in our community. Many also knew Jeff for another reason — he had a successful career as a country music artist. No matter where life took him, Jeff never lost his desire to serve others and make people smile.
In 2013, Jeff helped create a music video reminding residents about the Franklin Police Department’s non-emergency phone number. It was creative, heartfelt, and very much Jeff, as he used his talent and personality to help and connect with the community he cared so deeply about. Since this is also Throwback Thursday, we thought it was approproate to repost this amazing video.
Please keep Jeff’s family, friends, and his brothers and sisters in blue in your thoughts today.
