I was employed by the Borough of Wilson as a school crossing guard and as a meter maid for 27 years, until 2008. This past week the borough lost one of its employees, police department secretary Wanda Karp.
I and many others are very distraught that the flag at headquarters wasn’t flown at half-staff in honor of her years and dedication. You’d think she would have gotten this respect for being such a loyal, well-liked employee. I guess she wasn’t important enough to some people at the top.
Shame on them. I worked with Wanda for many years. She was well-known to all the departments as former Chief Richard Nace’s and the officers’ right-hand person in the office. When the ex-chief would say to her, hold off all calls to me, she did that so well.
She was good at protecting her fellow officers and being there for the other borough employees if they needed her assistance.
Why didn’t they give her that respect with the flag?
