Doc Jim Tribute


All family members are invited to the Doc Jim Tribute to be held on Wednesday, May 6 at 10:30 am at the St Louis Police Academy!  The idea for this event came from the Chief of Police at O'Fallon,Roy Joachimstaler, whose life was saved by "Doc Jim"!  Others to be invited (and consider this to be your invitation ) are policemen Jim took care of and tributes by family members of deceased policemen!

I met Roy after Jims death when he asked his cousin, Dr. Fred Saalfeld, a Semo alumnus, if he would bring him down and introduce us.  This was the beginning of our continued friendship!  He was not able to be present at Julia's birthday party to make the announcement because no chief was allowed to leave the city in the Ferguson  problems!   Betty hates the picture I used as well as some other people but I chose the best one I had so I would not ruin Roy's surprise!  I can change the picture if someone has a better choice!  This is Roy and his fellow officersTribute;  I am grateful for his remembering!
