"Every day is somebody's full moon" was said by Sgt. Joseph MacDonald, juvenile officer for the Hampton Police Department. As memory serves it was about 1975-76. Sgt. MacDonald was a tall, sandy-haired, blue eyed, slender man with a great smile and he was loved by all, especially the kids and teens in the town. He did great work, so good in fact that when he reached mandatory retirement age, the State Legislature passed a special Bill to allow him to continue as Juvenile Officer for the HPD. His wife, Anna, was always his support and the love of his life. He once told me that "without Anna I never could have done it." There are a lot of "solid citizens" today who owe, at least in part, their good life to words of wisdom from Sgt. Mac received when they were in the rebellious teens.
