Man With A Mission, Local Students Join In White House Welcome Col. Richard S. Winstead, USASA FS, Sobe commanding officer, present USASAPAC Certificate of Achievement to Sgt. Russell Rudolph of McHenry. U.S. ARMY PHOTO Sergeant Russell Stanley Rudolph knew the duties of a military policeman vidpuld never be easy. The least he could expect would be irregular schedules, exacting hours, and the most demanding standards of appearance and performance. Yet when he first entered the Army in December, 1969, Sgt. Rudolph insisted on the JWilitary Police corps as his enlistment option. This year Sgt. Rudolph celebrated Law Day (May 1) by re- enlisting for four years additional duty as a military policeman. It was appropriate that he re- enlisted on the second anniversary of his graduation from the MP academy at Ft. Gordon, Ga., - Law Day, 1970. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Albert Rudolph, Sr., of McHenry, and the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pederson, Crystal Lake, Sgt. Rudolph could best describe his attitude toward his duties in one word - dedication. Police work, he feels, is not just a job but a profession. "I want to work in a civilian law enforcement office," he explains. "My eventual ambition is the McHenry County Sheriff's department, preferably as a game warden." Sgt. Rudolph's first experience with law enforcement came when he was assigned to the US Army Security Agency Field station, Sobe, Okinawa, provost marshal's office, in May, 1970. Though this tour of duty was a challenge, Sgt. Rudolph was favorably impressed. For his re- enlistment he chose another ASA Military Police unit, located in Ausburg, Germany. "I felt I had a future with MP work," comments Sgt. Rudolph. "Four more years will be worth the experience. I want to see a bit more of the world." Sgt. Rudolph leaves Okinawa with the confidence he has already gained much valuable ex perience. For his meritorious performance of duty at Field station, Sobe, Sgt. Rudolph was awarded the US Army Security Agency, Pacific, Certificate of Achievement, by Colonel Richard S. Winstead, USASA FS commanding officer, on June 15. On Thursday. June 15, seven. Big Hollow students and their two teachers. Dick Meyers and Jim Shalek. Jr., joined with President and Mrs. Nixon to welcome* Mexican President and Mrs. Echeverria for an official welcome to'foe United States. The welcoming ceremonies were held on the south lawn of the White House in Washington D.C. The Big Hollow students and teachers stood at attention as the band played "Ruffles and Flourishes" and "Hail To The Chief". As the Mexican national anthem was played, followed by the "Star Spangled Ban ner", a twenty-one gun salute boomed across the south lawn. Following this, Presidents Nixon and Echeverria in spected the honour guard, then made brief remarks. Following the welcoming ceremonies at the White House, Meyers, Shalek and the Big Hollow students hurried to the Capitol building to keep an' 11:30 meeting with U.S. Congressman Robert McClory.
