After 20 years in uniform, Berryville police officer Greg Noftsger officially retired on Jan. 29. Last week, he sounded as if was he already missing his job.
Spending the past three years as the school resource officer at Berryville Elementary and Intermediate Schools might have something to do with that.
If Id have known then what I know now, I would have started off as an SRO, Noftsger said Friday. I love working with the kids. Theyre just awesome. I dont know anywhere else you can go to work and get a hundred hugs a day.
