MAKING A DIFFERENCE MEANS BEING COMMITTED
The age of 10 was a seminal year in the making of Franklin patrolman
William Piwtoratsky. In those 12 months, he lost his father to a
drunken driver but also realized that his mission in life was to
become a policeman.
Now, at 41, those events have conspired to place Piwtoratsky at the
front of the classroom, where as the township's Drug Abuse Resistance
Education officer he spends much of his energies preaching the dangers
of drug and alcohol abuse.
It isn't lost on Piwtoratsky, either, that the fifth-graders he
counsels are nearly the same age as he was when he realized his calling.
