Billy Meador was my uncle. My mom, Geraldine Gail Meador Butler, was 16 years old when her older brother was killed. My grandfather, William Rexford Meador, was the county sheriff. My grandmother, Mary Ethel Clark Meador, found out by accident when my grandfather's telephone call was sent by the local switchboard in Estancia to their house instead of where he wanted the phone call to go. Both my grandparents never could talk to me about his death nor did I feel comfortable in asking them about his death. My mom explained to me. I was not born until 1943 but still get sad over my grandparents' and mother's loss.

To the officers who risk their lives daily, thank you.
