But Levy also told thethat Adams, who was a police officer for more than 20 years, did carry a photo of Venable for years.
Adams told the paper that the photo was “always in my wallet until my wallet got too bulky,” so he said he transferred it to a money clip. “He was a very dear friend and it keeps me committed,” the mayor said of Venable.
