She became a LEO when she was 13 years old??

My preacher graduated from Chaplain school in the US Navy.

One of his classmates later got involved in a bad lifestyle and shot his pregnant wife to death.
This happened in Lindale, Smith County, Texas (on Tyler's northern boundary). He is residing
in Huntsville, or some such locale, for a long time. I don't know how long ago this happened.
