Old Sarge guards by medals patches in Livermore tale
Jim Turner nicknamed Old Sarge by coworkers is an Alameda County Animal Control kennel supervisor with 31 years in the Army Air Force and reserves. He gathers military patches and medals including a rare Dewey medal from Manila Bay found in Pleasanton, plus Strang’s watch medal. Turner, who collects since 1963, buys and sells at flea markets and shows, while lamenting animal control staffing and funding issues as he also oversees Livermore kennels and pushes for more officers and funding to curb rabies and animal problems.
