It's about 11:30 a.m. Saturday, and Megan Olszar drags a heavy cardboard box across the cement floor of the Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company. Working quickly, the petite blonde deftly cuts open the tape holding it closed and pulls out a gray T-shirt with a state police logo on the left front and the words "PSP Strong" on the back.

She smoothes the shirt out next to others on a folding table and dips into the box for another.Outside, a line of people grows, stretching halfway back along the building, waiting for the doors to open at 12 p.m. so they can buy a shirt -- or two or three -- to help support the families of the late state police Cpl. Bryon Dickson and trooper Alex Douglass.Dickson was killed and Douglass seriously wounded when Eric Frein, 31, of Canadensis opened fire on them at 10:50 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County. Police continue hunting for Frein, a self-styled survivalist believed to be hiding in the rugged terrain of Barrett and Price townships, near the Pike/Monroe border.Lake Harmony Ambulance Association emergency medical technician Peter Ramstine arranged for PSP Wives to hold the sale, one of several they've held since the shooting, at the fire company."Bryon Dickson was stationed at Fern Ridge (state police barracks) most of his career, so a lot of us knew him. So when this happened, we wanted to do something for his family," he said.he contacted PSP Wives and suggested they hold a sale in Albrightsville, where he was sure a lot of people would buy the shirts."Over a course of about four or five days, we organized this, and here they are," Ramstine said.Olszar, whose husband, Luke, is a state trooper, is one of the PSP Wives group."We saw a tragedy happen. A family lost a husband and father. We as wives wondered what we could possibly do for this family," she said. "We came up with PSP Strong because when something happens, we all come together as a family. The wives are a sisterhood and the troopers are a brotherhood. All of our proceeds are going to the families of the troopers who were ambushed on Sept. 12. We want to see how much money we can make for these families to help them out."They brought more than 500 shirts on Saturday."We love the support and we appreciate everyone's patience," she said.PSP Wives have a Facebook page,

www.facebook.com/groups/609196969189901/, and a website, pspstrong.com, which is under construction. The Facebook page lists sale sites and dates along with other information.They've sold thousands of the shirts at four or five places so far. Each customer is limited to five shirts because they are selling so fast.One state trooper, who asked that his name not be published, clutched a dozen shirts to his side as he chatted with Lehighton police officer Matt Arner, who was also buying shirts.The trooper said he was buying the shirts for friends and family.Arner bought four shirts, three for his family and one for a co-worker."Its important because it shows our support for the state troopers and their families. We want them to know local police are behind them 100 percent," he said.Kidder Township police Officer Michael Chica and one of his colleagues bought about 15 shirts."The department is getting together to support the state police," he said.Albrightsville firefighters lined up to buy shirts as soon as they were placed on the tables.Rich Smallenburg bought a shirt, saying he wanted to help support the troopers' families."We try to support each other," he said.As the clock ticked to 11:45 a.m. Linda Meckes of Jim Thorpe stood patiently."I want to make a donation to help the families, and I want Eric Frein brought to justice," she said.
