After purchasing a sleigh and finding a stuffed Laplander reindeer, Mr. Norton became known as the “Polk Street Santa” to many children that stopped by for a visit and pictures, the fun lasted twenty years.

Later he greatly enjoyed the children, now adults that would stop and remember the past fun. It just so happens that while in the hospital, his nurse shared pictures of her visit when she was a child of six and came by with her older sister and mom. What a special night.

Mr. Norton also gave his time to Air National Guard unit for 37 years which then moved to Goldsboro North Carolina as a reserve unit. He retired from Lockheed-Martin Aircraft after 34 years as Training officer and later Assistant Chief. He also gave his time to several small communities that only had volunteer Fire Departments as their Training Officer.
