These were tough times for Chief Marc Sarb. The twins were off to college, each going their separate way. Luke, took a year off and joined Amer i-Corps. He wanted to serve his country and, also, needed to get away from the academic grind. It was his hope that it would give him a better perspective on what career he wanted to pursue. He knew he was not cut out to work in an office and 'pledge allegiance' to the corporate life. Taking a year off helped him in many ways and at the end of ten months in Amer i-corps, he received $5,500, enough to buy a used Ford F-150. Luke had met a girl while serving and they toured the country, finally deciding to enroll at Eastern Illinois University. Luke wanted …show more content…
He was thinking of a girl from his past and it hurt him to do so, as well – but for completely different reasons. Ted Gault thought back on Mary Kelly and he found it difficult to relate her murder back to himself. It was as if he was tied in chains and made to watch what was done to her body.

“You got it. See, back then there were no category for 'best supporting actor. Their votes got canceled out and I think Laurence Olivier, but I don't know which movie.”
“I've got one for you, Marc. Who is the only person who received two Oscars for the same role and then never makes another movie? This is in my top five of all movies.”
“Good one, Ted. Now, what's your favorite movie? I think I know. You tear-up every time you try to describe the scene where Frederick March returns home from the war. His daughter answers the door, and March holds his hand over her mouth. Myrna Loy is in the kitchen and she yells out – Who was that at the door, dear? No reply. Myrna Loy begins to ask the same question, but only gets half of it out. Who was that at …...Frederick March is in the hallway, dressed in his Army uniform. Myrna Loy comes out of the kitchen and that scene tells us more about World War II than any I can think of. Was, it the soldier who lost both his
