The turnout at my meet and greet last night was incredible! Jackie’s never disappoints!! A special thank you to Keith and Roxanne Spalding, Guy Rodgers and John Barrera for hosting us!

Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support. Your presence and enthusiasm mean the world to me. Together, we can make a real difference!

On behalf of myself(Jaton Liner) I would like to thank Shelton Skains and Angie Clark for hosting a great meet and greet with Ray Nolen for Sheriff. If you live in Galveston County, please pay attention and do your homework on the upcoming election for Galveston County Sheriff.  My husband Howell Mitchell and I have been residents and homeowners in San Leon for nearly 30 years. We depend on our Galveston County Sheriff's office to protect our community and we are very concerned about this election. If you live in Galveston County, you too should be concerned.  Educate yourselves and vote.

Sheriff Trochesset,

I wanted to take a moment to make you aware of an event I witnessed this afternoon (December 3, 2023) involving Galveston County Sheriff’s Department Major Ray Nolen.  Ray and I had met for lunch at the T-bone Tom’s restaurant in Kemah.  As we sat waiting for our food to arrive, Ray suddenly stopped mid-conversation and rushed across the restaurant to attend to an emergency event that I had not even noticed was taking place.  As I turned to see what had caught Ray’s eye, I observed a 4-5 year old boy who was obviously choking.  He was in the sole company of his elderly grandmother who was in a panic, not knowing what to do to help her grandson. 

 

As you know, in addition to being a law enforcement officer, Ray is a highly trained and very capable paramedic.  I watch in amazement as Ray calmly and without hesitation turn the boy and assessed that he was in fact choking and that his airway was completely blocked.  He then scooped the boy up into his arms and administered several firm blows to his back.  As the boy continued to struggle to breath, Ray then placed his arms around the boy and delivered several abdominal thrusts, which promptly dislodged a large piece of meat that had been stuck in the boy’s throat.  The boy began to cry, while saliva poured from his mouth and tears from his eyes.  Ray cleaned the young man’s face with care and said “you alright buddy”.  The young man shock his head affirmatively and later gave Ray a hug.  Ray returned to our table, as if what he had just done, saving a young life, was all in a typical days work. 

 

I know you will agree with me that Major Nolen is the kind of man who never seeks recognition or accolades.   Having had the distinct honor of witnessing this miracle though, I would be both remiss and negligent if I failed to let you know what a fine and heroic man you have working on your staff.   There is no doubt in my mind that, had it not been for the actions of GCSO Major Ray Nolen, a young heart would no longer be beating tonight.  It is for this reason that I respectfully ask that Major Nolen be formally recognized for his actions and recommend that he be considered for a Law Enforcement Lifesaving Award.

 

Warm Regards,

Ken Adcox
