You can’t retire until you’ve actually worked, Dave

In 50 years in law enforcement, Dave Kramer never worked a day.

So Sheriff David Kramer is retiring and an open house is from 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, January 10 at the Boundary County Annex. I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW HE CAN RETIRE SINCE IN ORDER TO RETIRE YOU MUST HAVE WORKED FIRST AND DAVE KRAMER HAS NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE!

I know Dave Kramer about as well as anyone can. He was a police officer and or Chief of Police for most of my 28 years as a Councilman and Mayor of the City of Bonners Ferry. I voted for and appointed him over and over to his law enforcement positions during those years.

I appointed him because David absolutely loved law enforcement. It was never work for him. Instead it was the love of his life.

I am not going to be present for his open house tomorrow. By me observing him, I learned that to play in life is much more important than to work, so I will be in Hawaii tomorrow Chief.

Enjoy your day off tomorrow from playing. You earned every bit of it.

Your friend,
Mayor Darrell Kerby
