The Cajun Canasian and the Cops




What does an Asian-Canadian Buffalo from Louisiana have in common with Illinois Buffalo cops? Love of donuts. Cajun Wokman Tim Gill (top photo, center) shares the donut supply of policemen Chris "Tut-Tonka" Koerner (left) and Tom "Sarge" King. The three were part of the 8-man Buffalo Warriors relay team I was part of for the River to River Relay race in southern Illinois last weekend. Tim traveled all the way from Louisiana with "Freezy Girl" Karin Gibbs (above) for the event. With Freezy are Buffalo Warriors Shea Nangle (left) and "Kenyan" Kelby Trowbridge. I didn't know Sarge and Shea and Kenyan Kelby before last weekend, but after spending time at a buffalo watering hole, then traveling with them from the Mississippi to the Ohio River, I have new buffalo brothers.
