Actually, I wanted to write a column and tell the world how I felt about [Jeremy Ian Harewood]. But knowing that some of his police peers wouldn't understand why he'd been so helpful to Public Enemy No. 1 and his wife, I didn't want his reputation to be harmed.

Jeremy's family, friends and police colleagues will gather this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the cavernous Immanuel Pentecostal Church on Wilkes Avenue.

Those who knew Jeremy -- and those who are only getting to know him now -- can, if they wish, make a donation to the [Raylene] and Keesha Harewood (education) fund at the Winnipeg Police Credit Union, 300 William St., Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1P9.
