The Pennsylvania State Police Ceremonial Unit attended the Abington Heights High School graduation Wednesday night, to show support for graduate Bryon K. Dickson III, whose father, Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson, was slain in a sniper ambush on Sept. 12, 2014, at the state police station in Blooming Grove Twp., Pike County. The troopers stood during the ceremony, and Principal Lee Ann Theony said the troopers’ quiet support for the Dickson family was “very moving.”
