My dear, sweet, Father told me that he would kick the ever - lovin' **** out of me on a daily basis if I ever even THOUGHT about being a Police officer. I'm 38, and he's 66 now. I STILL honestly believe he could do it!

He was from the old school, not the new para - military kiddie cops that are prevalent today.

He believed that you should talk , and treat people as you wish to be treated, and talked to. No matter what the circumstances, no matter the social status of the person. Until they prove you wrong, any way. Then all bets are off.

He had to quit being the Chief when the mayor had a party. Dad wrote quite a few parking tickets that night. Unfortunately, they were all to the mayors guests who were parked in a no parking zone.

My Father really is my Hero.
