Thank you, WFAA, for highlighting this special day as we celebrated Prosper's very own Mike Howard, who is currently the longest-serving peace officer in the state of Texas. We were honored to unveil Mike Howard Lane in Prosper, a tribute to his extraordinary service and dedication. Replacing Cook Lane, this street now stands as a permanent reminder of Mike's unwavering commitment to public service. Mike's remarkable journey began in 1952, and his exceptional skills and dedication quickly propelled him through the ranks, achieving the position of police chief by the age of 30. His service extended beyond our community when he served in the Secret Service during the assassination of President Kennedy, a pivotal moment in our nation's history. Mike Howard's leadership and dedication have left an indelible mark on our community, and we are grateful for his enduring contributions. Thank you, Mike, for your years of service and for being an inspiration to us all.
