Hello Everyone,
We had the first family movie night in May and had a very good turnout of about 50 people and we had a great time. The dates are June 17th, July 15th, August 12th, and September 16th. Really great event for the family please try to attend.
We have had a lot of bad news this month. We lost retiree Stevie Bryant who had only been retired a little over a year he will be greatly missed such a great guy. We also got bad news about retiree Dean Howard who suffered a stroke and is currently in Kettering Hospital for treatment. I got word that he is now accepting visitors and enjoys seeing everyone. He has a trach at this time so speaking is very difficult for him. Also keep Otis Gross in mind he is currently fighting a serious illness. Please keep these families and members in your prayers.
I would like to remind everyone about the 1st annual FOP 5k Run/Walk on June 19th more information can be found on the Powell Banquet Center web site. Also we are currently selling gun raffle tickets to benefit the foundation see any board member to get your ticket.
Don’t forget about Cooking with Jack classes that are on the Thursday after the regular meeting night I will forward Jacks email about the event out to everyone.
I am being told that the last few pieces of the memorial should be in place by June 26th. Please take the time to review all the work that has been done by Randy and Chris Beane and FOPA president Andrew Mckinna. They do a great job keeping everything looking great which helps us to keep the lodge rented. We will have a work party sometime in June to work on the trails and area behind the barn.
Lastly I will be out of town for the next meeting so 1st vice president McDonald will be running the June meeting.
Stay Safe Everyone
Rick

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Jesus Christ
Brothers and Sisters:
Just a short time ago we lost an individual that all of us had the honor of knowing. Because of his occupation, he was always in the public eye, and thus was introduced to a countless number of people. If you asked, these acquaintances would recall their admiration for his ability to perform without griping about the individuals that surrounded him each and every day for the last three and a half decades. The prince I am referring to is now in a place where “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelations 21:4).
He never played a guitar or sang in front of thousands. Nor did he ever jump off center stage, effortlessly landing in the splits, with a hundred or so spotlights cast upon him. When he passed away there weren’t any media sources camped out at his hacienda, nor was his name printed as a headline in the front page of the news. So why am I wasting space in this column of the Aegis to write about a person that didn’t make tidal waves?
Officer Steve Bryant passed away from natural causes on May 14, 2016. He worked in uniform for an impressive 34 years with the Dayton Police Department without complaining that the pay was not enough or that his job was too tough. He was always respectful to everyone and he considered himself no better than anyone else. His passing shortly after retiring would have some thinking that he didn’t have the best luck, but my way of seeing it is that he was blessed to have found an occupation early in life to demonstrate his God-given talent; moreover, we all know he’s up in heaven having a ball and singing “…Party like its 1999.” Just because Steve didn’t wear tight leather pants and serenade millions of fans on a daily basis, his life was arguably just as meaningful and deserves recognition.
Officer Bryant lived a life that Jesus Christ described as the “select” in His Kingdom; such words are found in the fifth chapter of Matthew: “Blessed are the meek…”; “Blessed are the merciful…”; “Blessed are the pure in heart…”; “Blessed are the peacemakers…” If your life is a reflection of the Beatitudes (referenced above), then you will never have anything to feel guilty about, you’ll never need to take drugs to mask the feeling of something “missing” in your life, you’ll never regret your actions because they are used to serve others.
For my readers who knew Officer Bryant, doesn’t the above scripture describe him to a “T”? His was an outstanding life portrayed by an

The FOP 44 Retirees held their monthly meeting on Tuesday May 17, 2016 at the FOP 44 Lodge Hall in Huber Heights, Ohio. The pre-meeting meal was cook-out style, and was prepared by members of FOPA Lodge #1. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and Potato and Maca-roni salads were delicious. Thanks to FOPA Lodge#1 for cooking for us.
The meeting started promptly at 7:30 pm, and meeting business was completed quickly. HB 218 Spring Qualifications are Sunday May 22, 2016, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Miami Valley Shooting Grounds. This meeting, also featured Vice President Melson pre-senting FOP Years of Service Pins. Pins were presented to: Starting with 25 years of service were Tracy Bishop, Whitney Butler, James Combs, and David Rhoden. 30 years of service had no attendees. 35 Years of Service were Barbara Long, and Beverly Manuel. 40 Years of Service were Greg Jackson, Larry Simmons, Gerald Ander-son, Barbara Bent, Carl Lillis, Leo Budenz, Tom Bennett, Gary Tip-ton, Fred Lickert, Robert Bogan Jr. Robert Mannix, Chuck Greenameyer, and Bob Casper. (Slight pause for some pictures after this group had gathered). 45 Years of Service are Bobby Whitt, Rick Bauer, Dave Hennie, and Rick Iddings. 50 Years of Service are, Ron Labatsky, Gary Gibson, and Bill Hatfield. We have some members who have served the FOP for more than 50 years, but, the Grand Lodge of the FOP only makes pins up to 50 Years.
Watch for e-mail information about the cooking classes by Jack Zin-dorf.
Retiree Steven L. Bryant passed away May 14, 2016, please keep Julia and the rest of the Bryant family in your prayers during this time of loss.
Meeting was adjourned, and the Attendance Award drawing was held, and Alvin D. Burke did not win.

FOPA MEETING 6:30 PM
FOPA Appli-cants
Attention ALL Lodge members! We have no applicants at this time. We need YOUR help filling this section. Please email President McKenna at an-
[email protected] for an ap-plication. The stronger the A-Lodge gets the more we can do for you!
The FOPA has had a very busy spring. This origination has replaced some trees that did not survive the spring, purchased all the flowers that you see out at the lodge and memorial, mulch, and labor for laying of mulch on some of the islands around. A majority of the planting has been done by Randy and Chris Beane. Liza Martinez and I also came out and work on a regular basis. If it were not for these volunteers this lodge would not look as good as it does when you come out to enjoy the grounds.
The FOPA adopted an island when they were placed in the parking lot. At our past meeting several mem-bers signed up for a week to come care for our island. If you would like to sign up for a week please let me know.
May 15th started police week. The A-Lodge teamed up with St, Albert the Great School where the stu-dents there wrote letters and made cards for all of our officers. On May 20th I delivered, with the help of some St. Albert Students, 288 Police Officer Survival Kits, letters, and cards,
Over the past few years the A-lodge has “hosted” the retiree’s annual FOP service pin meeting. This year was no different. We had over 100 attendees and served over 130 hamburgers, 100 hot dogs, and 15 pounds of macaroni salad, 15 pounds of potato salad, 10 pounds of cole slaw, 3 pounds of potato chips, Skyline Chili, Skyline Cheese, cake, and cookies. No one left hungry and everyone had a great time.
Fraternally,
Andrew McKenna, President 937-974-1803
SPEAKERS NEEDED!
The FOPA is always looking for new speakers. If you would like to come and speak to our member-ship about your unit or a project you are doing please contact President McKenna at 937-974-1803.
Attendance Raffle Winner! Every month at the FOPA meeting we hold a raffle for everyone in attendance. It is free and easy to participate. All you have to do is arrive before the meeting starts sign the attendance sheet and get a raffle ticket. You must attend the entire meeting. At the end of the meeting we will pull a raffle ticket and someone wins the prize that we have for that month. May’s raffle prize was won by Brother Andrew McKenna who won a Rave Cinema gift certificate.
THANK YOU

Summer Beer Can Chicken
Do you love roast chicken on the grill but don't have a rotisserie attachment? Don't worry, Jack will show you how to make great tasting, crispy on the out-side, juicy and tender on the inside, roast chicken, using a beer can. To round out the menu, Jack will show you how to prepare stuffed grilled tomatoes, grilled smashed potatoes topped with home made crème fraiche, and for dessert grilled pound cake with strawberries and mascarpone whipped cream. This a great menu for a casual summer cookout.
Please register early, this has always been a very popular class.
Jack Zindorf Thursday, June 16th 2016 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM [third Thursday this month]
Please note price increase. The cost for a class in 2016 will be $35.00 for singles and $60.00 for couples. We will be adding one more item to the menu each class. This small increase will help cover the cost of the additional food and help. This is still a good value when you check the cost of a cooking class on line.
This class will be limited to 24 seats. Please register early so I know how much food to purchase.
Cooking classes are open to all F.O.P., F.O.P.A., Retiree's, Auxiliary members, family and friends

The last quarter of 1918
was eventful as The
Great War drew near its
end. The Bureau of Po
licewomen’s two (2)
sworn female officers
had done their duty in
checking dance halls for
wayward girls and warn
ing of the “soldier boys”
that were in town. Day
ton’s very first police
woman, Annie McCully,
decided to resign after
four years service on
November 8. Its second
policewoman, Lulu
Sollers, was appointed
to head the Bureau and
would remain in that
post through WWII.

The Great War had
taken the lives of many
U.S. soldiers engaged in
combat in Europe. But
many soldiers’ lives
were lost by disease as
well. An outbreak of
“Spanish Influenza” was
causing serious illness
among the soldiers. It
was so prevalent a sick
ness that it became a
European epidemic.
With the return home of
WWI fighting soldiers,
the Spanish flu became
a deadly pandemic for
troops in American
camps only to terribly
spread throughout our
nation to its citizens.
The Dayton Police Memo-rial that is located at the lodge is nearing comple-tion. The completion date and unveiling will be some-time in late June or early July with the exact date to be determined. The first order of bricks are in and are placed in the memorial. There are several that were missing or came incorrect. If you do not see yours there do that is most likely where yours is at. We are in the process of getting those replaced at this time. If yours were not one that was missing or incorrect your form arrived after we placed the initial order and those bricks will be ordered in the coming weeks. If you have not sent your order in or have been waiting please do so now.
Fundraising efforts are un-derway and there are still many ways for you to con-tribute. The best way is to purchase a brick. They are $125 and $200 each. Sales of brick have been very slow and it would be nice to have every member have a brick in the memorial. There is a bench sponsorship at a cost of $5000. With that you can inscribe your name or business name on the front of the bench seat. There is only one available. We also have tree sponsor-ships at $1500 each and with that a marker will be placed at the foot of one of the two cherry trees. We also have 2 flag pole sponsorships at $10,000 each.
If you would like a brick order form or would like more information about sponsorship please feel free to email Andrew McKenna, FOPA Presi-dent at [email protected].

In only two months in

300,000 U.S. troops had
contracted the influenza

causing the deaths of a
half million people. The city of Dayton was not immune. Municipal

outstanding human being and his spirit will live on with a life with God in heaven along with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
So when will be your last day here on earth? I surely don’t know when my time expires, but I am optimistic that when the dirt is placed on my casket, my spirit will be in the same place as Steve Bryant’s spirit. In the meantime, I will stay focused and set my sights on above because Christ said, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is” (Mark 14:33).
God bless and please keep in your prayers Officer Otis Gross

Obituary
Page 11
While the Great Flood
of 1913 took the lives of
approximately 100 Day
tonians, by the third
week of October 1918
the influenza pandemic
had killed 137 local citi
zens. Dayton patrolmen
were exposed as well.
Chief Allaback in
structed officers to
make sure that the 16
saloons alleged to be in
violation of health
codes “remain closed
until further notice.”
Warnings were issued
to “Hallowe’en celebra
tors” to remember the
nation was at war and
there was “unusual
sickness” around.

There is methodical progress on the Dayton Metropolitan Police museum initiative. Step-by-step movement is being made toward the goal of publicly announcing a fundraising campaign later this year.
The most recent step taken is the completion of the “stump speech” that will be used, in whole or in part, for publicity purposes, as a narrative for grant applications, and as the text in brochures. The “stump speech” captures Dayton law enforcement’s unique story that sets it apart from other police agencies in the nation.
In another step, the DPHF Board of Trustees approved the expenditure of funds to have a glossy, color tri-fold brochure designed for campaign mailers and other promotional purposes. As soon as designed, the bro-chure will be printed along with letterhead and envelopes. Also, small versions of spiral-bound booklets with the museum concept renderings will be printed as keepsakes for philanthropic donors.
The DPHF trustees decided to start exploring professional fundraising consultants and the costs associated with contracting those services. Also, as a reminder, DPHF is looking for a committee chairperson to coordinate all other fundraising efforts (excluding grant applications and contacting major donors). Anyone interested in fulfilling this role, please contact [email protected].
______________________
This month items were added to the archive collection thanks to dona-tions by the following retirees: Karl Clauss, a variety of leather note-books and ticket books from different time periods, a 1970 team polic-ing embroidered badge and a circa 1980 Dayton Police belt buckle; Frank Navarre, a Harley-Davidson 2001 commemorative police mo-torcycle patrol magazine, a 2002 news article, a videotape on gas mask training and an MIS field manual; Kevin Nichols, two CDs with 2010/2016 MCLEM and OPOTA Police Memorial photos; and Rick Id-dings, additional NPST historical documents.
Last month, DPHF was contacted by Ron Reiter, the grandson of Ptl. John Reiter (1908-1917). He provided what may be the earliest know photograph of a Dayton police officer on a motorcycle. The image

Young boys partying on

were asked “to show
consideration for sick
families and not make
unnecessary noise. De
struction of property
[would] not be toler
ated.” In an effort to
keep order, “extra po
licemen” were placed
on duty with instruc
tions to break up and
arrest those who failed
to heed the warnings.
The epidemic worsened
the next month. On No

shows Ptl. Reiter alongside his 1911-1912 “DPD” Flying Merkel (shown elsewhere in this newsletter). This make was manufactured by the Mi-ami Motorcycle Company of Middletown from 1911 to 1915. Thanks goes to Chris Lillis for identifying the year of the motorcycle depicted. Ptl. Reiter’s career was cut short by a motorcycle accident the year after Ptl. John Stapleton (1905-1916) was killed in a motorcycle accident.
DPHF was contacted by Lake Saint Louis Police Lt. Patrick Doering for two Dayton HNT pictures to use in a book he is authoring on the early U.S. history of hostage negotiations. Retired USAF Sgt. Gary Siler also contacted DPHF after he researched and located, Joe Kee-ble, the great-grandson of Fallen Dayton Ptl. William ‘Tom’ Wilson (1925-1928). Ptl. Wilson was shot to death and is the first black Dayton officer killed in the line of duty. DPHF has no photo image of Ptl. Wil-son but is anticipating receiving one from Keeble.
DPHF nomination of Sgt. Lucius Rice (1909-1939) for the Dayton Walk of Fame did not prove successful this year. Sgt. Rice, having served a 30-year career, was Dayton’s longest-serving police officer to die in the line of duty when he was shot and killed in a 1939 gun battle with a murder suspect. His killer is the only person ever to be legally executed for the murder of a Dayton police officer. Sgt. Rice nomina-tion remains active to two years and he is again eligible for selection to the WoF in 2017.
Last month a 1½-hour presentation on the Dayton arrest of John Dillinger was given at the Vandalia Seniors Center, was attended by 40 people and very well received. A presentation on the 1913 Great Flood is being scheduled for July at Woodland Cemetery and a Day-ton police history presentation will take place for the SCC Lifelong Learning program on August 29.
The new DPHF website was officially launched on April 6. Check it out at http://daytonpolicehistory.org/. It will undergo continued “construction” to enhance the museum efforts and to offer more infor-mation on the history of law enforcement in Dayton and the local area. Also, the Dayton Police History Foundation Facebook page adds pho-tos and stories several days a week. It is gaining more interest. The page itself is approaching 1000 “likes”. One recent post on our fallen officers was viewed by 6,700 people and had 55 “shares”. Check it out at Facebook.com/249093438486135.

In maintaining order in
Dayton, at least four (4)
otherwise healthy po
licemen were fatally af
flicted with this plague
of WWI. It caused the
deaths of Patrolmen Ed

During the four months
from October 1918
