Trying to summarize nearly 38 years of service to one community is virtually impossible. But that’s exactly what Dorothy Vandagriff tried to do recently, as she said goodbye to her role with the Escalon Police Department and retired from the city as of July 1. She had been with the city since late 1977, originally starting as a clerk shared between city hall and the police department.
