          <description><![CDATA[
After 34 years and one month with the Pittsylvania County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, Vic Ingram decided to celebrate his retirement a little differently than most. Traditionally, when a police officer retires someone plans a party and sets a cost per person, (but) I decided to cover the cost of the meal and give my friends the opportunity to help others by giving through me,&#8221; he said. He also gave people the opportunity to donate to two organizations dear to his heart Friday night at Mt. Calvary Church in Axton.
