Online Store in Honor of Officer Joseph Gomm
Current and former MCF-Stillwater staff have created an online store in memory of Officer Joseph Gomm, EOW 7/18/18. All proceeds will go in Joe's name to the University of Minnesota Raptor Center on July 18th. Many will remember, shortly before his death, officer Gomm rescued two baby kestrel falcons when they fell from their nest outside an MCF-STW industry building. Joe transferred the chicks to the U of M Raptor Center during his lunch break. On July 18th, 2018, Joe emailed the Raptor Center to check up on the chicks. Only a few hours later, his life was tragically taken from him. We can honor Joe by making a donation in his name. Donated funds will pay for a lifetime of care for an injured raptor and a commemorative plaque for its enclosure. The store link is valid until May 14th. Challenge coins are also still available for purchase. Any questions can be directed to Lt. Cory Felda at courtney.felda@state.mn.us.
