Funny you should mention this - an old friend who lives in the same neighborhood stopped at my driveway tonight after I pulled in - he had seen me behind him in my 914 as we both were driving home.

He stopped to tell me about his '72 914, which I vaguely remembered, but at the time he and I were not living in the same town - but anyway - one of his memories in that car was while commuting to college in Orlando (UCF) and being stopped by Sheriff deputy Vogel - this was before he was elected Sheriff - and after some small talk handed his dl back and said to "take it easy" - no ticket. The point being - it's harder and harder to find law enforcement officers who are old school and exercise good judgement. I'm not saying because an officer issues a ticket he is or isn't a good cop. I'm just saying Vogel was very fair and earned respect by giving respect and exercising what I deem to be good judgement.

Anyway - please convey my best to your friend and mentor - that's a nice post to honor his service....
