On Thursday June 13th, Lee presented the police department
with a beautiful handcrafted redwood bench, dedicated to the memory of Sergeant
Butch Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler.
Lee has been involved with woodworking since he was in the 7th
grade. In fact, this is the third such
memorial bench he has made here in Santa Cruz County.
Lee received a donation for all the lumber from Big Creek
Lumber in Watsonville. We would like to
thank and acknowledge them for their generous donation allowing Lee to
transform their lumber into this beautiful piece.
We are honored that Lee would share his labor of love and
talent with us in such a meaningful way.
We are still working out details of a permanent memorial here
at the police department for Butch and Elizabeth. No doubt this bench will be included and well
used by those needing to take a load off to reflect on the memory and legacy of
Butch & Elizabeth.
