8/1/23 Special Family Reunion

1 August 2023 News


Saturday was a day a Waupun boy isn’t likely to forget after being introduced to a special firefighter. It was an elaborate plan to reunite Miles Sherdan with his stepfather Gene Sanders who has been away on deployment with the Army National Guard. Miles is a cadet with the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Cadet and the Beaver Dam Fire Department Explorer programs. Amy Sheridan, Miles’s mother, asked for their help and the Waupun Fire and Police Departments also got in on the fun. When Gene arrived home, he was wearing Waupun Fire Department turn out gear. Miles thought he was going out to lunch with another family member. Gene arrived with lights and sirens. Miles didn’t know what was going on and was told they had a special fireman they wanted him to meet. There was a slight pause when Gene stepped forward before Miles recognized him, followed by hugs.
