A 6 year old boy, Shayne Welch of Massachusetts, visited Disney World with his family recently. Most kids want autographs of their favorite Disney hero or Princess. Shayne also wanted an autograph from his hero but his hero is not the typical Disney hero. He asked a Police Officer at Hollywood Studios for his autograph.
“It was our last park day in Disney, so we let each of the boys pick something from the gift store. Shayne selected the autograph book and pen,” says Shayne’s mother, Jennie Welch.
As soon as Shayne set his eyes on Deputy Rogers he asked if he could have his autograph. The Deputy got down to Shayne”s eye level and starting talking to him. He told me that he liked his haircut and once had the same haircut. So they thanked him and went on about their day at Disney. When they were leaving the Deputy was still there and Shayne just had to go out of the exit that was by him. The Deputy yelled Bye to Shayne. Shayne told his mom that he was going to miss him. How sweet is that? Out of all of the Disney magic he was more taken with the Police Officer.
Shayne might recognize the sacrifice and danger that goes into being a Police Officer a little more than most kids his age because his mother is also a Police Officer. His father is also a first responder, he is a Firefighter. I am sure Mom and Dad were so proud of Shayne.
Deputy Rogers has been at Disney for over 10 years and says this is a common occurrence for him. “I frequently take photos (many, many photos), shake hands, high-five, and, yes, sign autographs for kids all the time,” he says.
