Dear Editor,After hearing a brief “Thank You” at the city council meeting this past Monday in regards to the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Kansas Special Olympics, I thought I would do a little research. I don’t recall seeing any write-up or pictures in the newspaper about this event.Every year, Law Enforcement in and around Great Bend participate in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Kansas Special Olympics. If you are unsure of this program’s importance, I will begin by saying that this event all started back in 1981 and is still going strong.To take it a step further, the law Enforcement Torch Run began to take shape after former Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw a need to raise awareness and funds for the Kansas Special Olympics.
