On the day of their 13th wedding anniversary, Trooper Steve Beale and his wife, Tricia, received an unexpected gift… Little Blake Gregory Beale decided to come a week early, and he was a perfect anniversary gift for the Beales. Blake was born June 3rd and weighed in at 6 lbs 14 ozs. He is pictured above as he is being welcomed into the family by his older brother, Colgan, who is about to turn four this month. Congratulations Steve, Tricia, and Colgan. On behalf of the Mississippi State Trooper’s Association, we proudly welcome baby Blake Beale as the newest member of our trooper family!
