h’s '3o’ For Sgt. Bob Clevenger

It was “30” for state police sergeant Robert J. Clevenger on Monday, July 7, as he “hung up x liis spurs” and took his retirement from the force he has served well and faithful for 35 years. Clevenger, a well known Lakeland figure, resides at 319 south Huntington street in Syracuse. Began In 1935 Having served under nine governors and 11 police superintendents, Sergeant recalls joining the service July 7, 1935, reporting for state police school at the Indiana state fairgrounds at Indianapolis on his 21st birthday. “There were 5,000 applicants for the state police school,” he recalls. “After “all the S9O per month looked pretty good in those days,” he remembers. Those were the barren days of the depression and John Dillinger, national public enemy number one, was robbing banks in northern Indiana. Clevenger said he hadn’t considered police work until an old timer in the state police got him interested in the state police school. He entered the school when Don F. Stiver of Goshen was superintendent of the police under Governor Paul V. McNutt. At that time the Ligonier police barracks was located in a home on the “Y” in Ligonier. In those lean days troopers rode patrol on . Harley - Davidsen and Indian motorcycles and in four cars. The Ligonier district is now composed of Kosciusko, Elkhart, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben,' Whitley and DeKalb counties. In

F JK 808 CLEVENGER 1935 it included Marshall, Fulton Miami, Wabash, Huntington and Allen counties. Radio At Columbia City In those early days, Sergeant Clevenger recalls, the police radio was at Columbia .City, and communications to that point from Ligonier was by telephone. It wasn’t until the late 30’s that a transmitter was installed at the Ligonier post. “We were all single men at the time and lived at the old post. Hours didn’t count. You would grab six or seven hours sleep and then you’d be off somewhere,” the daily routine was outlined by Sgt. Clevenger. “Long hours we didn’t mind. The only time you’d get ticked off is when something happened and someone else was sent to cover it,” Clevenger said.

“I remember the 1934 Plymouth we had at the post. Sam (Patton) and I would fill it up with three or four quarts of oil after each patrol. That was no problem in those days. I believe the car had 160,000 miles on it r when we got it,” said Clevenger. At 30 years of age trooper Clevenger enlisted for sea duty and went through boot training, was later aboard an LSM (Landing Ship Medium) during the Okinawa campaign. At 34, and out of the service, he rejoined the state police. He married former Irene Todd of Waterford. He made corporal on March I, 1951, and was promoted to sergeant on April 1, 1957. On December 1,1962, he was promoted to first sergeant at Ligonier. Clevenger is still a trim 165 pounds at 55 years of age, and is the very epitome of a state police officer. He has followed the Syracuse high school Yellow Jackets where his son, Robert J. Clevenger 11, was a star player two years ago. Young Bob is now a sophomore at Ball State university. A step » daughter, Mrs. Jay (Susan) Brouwer, resides in Syracuse also. And Now What? What does a young man of 55 do when he retires? Sergeant Clevenger said he is being asked this question more than he would like to hear it. “My plans for the future are indefinite. There are plenty of people who want to put me to work,” he comments. He does plan a little golf and some fishing, he muses. Clevenger is a native of Warren, Ind., where he was graduated from high school, and later took a job in a North Manchester clothing store. There’s a new breed of state troopers coming on, Sergeant Clevenger observes. They’re intelligent, young and capable. As they pull away in their shining new, high-powered vehicles, Sergeant Clevenger smiles, recalling the early days when the cars weren’t so smooth running, when the roads were rougher and the hours longer, and pay less. , It was “30” for Sergeant Clevenger on Monday as he put badge number 112 on the shelf for keeps.
