Dear Mr. Crowe:

On April 29; 2002, Los Angeles County Sheriff s Deputy David W. March assigned to
Temple Station was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty during the course of a
traffic stop he made in the city of Irwindale. In an effort to memorialize the ultimate
sacrifice made by Deputy March for the citizens of Los Angeles County we are attempting
to have the interchange of State Highway Route 605 and State Highway Route 210
designated at the "Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff David W. March Memorial
Interchange."
California State Assemblyman Edward Chavez has introduced Assembly Concurrent
Resolution 142 (ACR 142) Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff David W. March
Memorial Interchange. Passage of this resolution by both the California State Senate and
Assembly is needed for this designation to become a reality. Should this occur a fund
raising effort will occur to collect sufficient donations to cover the cost to erect plaques and
markers by the California Department of Transportation.
On behalf of the Deputy March's family and coworkers at Temple Station we would like to
respectfully ask that your city council pass a resolution in support of ACR 142. If a
resolution of support is approved it should be forwarded to:
The Honorable Edward Chavez
California State Assembly

Mr. Bill Crowe -2- January 16, 2004
They have also asked that the resolution be faxed to their offices at (916) 319-2157.
This honor would be a fitting tribute to the memory of Deputy March. Thank you for your
consideration on this matter. If you or your staff have any questions please feel free to
contact me at (626) 292-3300.
Sincerely.
