School Story:

Went to Elementary first at St. Lucie School, then "graduated" from Lawnwood Elementary. Went on to St Lucie Co. Junior High. Didn't do well in school, so I was "banished" to a Military School for High School. Hated it at the time, but for me personally it was for the best.
The upside was learning to fly and getting my Private Pilots license in my Senior Year, and my Commercial license later on.

Developed a love of aviation and it's history, so after my career in law enforcement I began writing.

I did miss hangin with my friends I grew up with.

Lew Glenton was probably my closest friend. Man I miss that guy. But it's surprising we lived after some of the stupid things we did.

Nice to see my old friends here too!

Well I guess we're not going to have that cup of coffee we've been talking about for "years," much less getting together for dinner some weekend.  Have to say, the wife and I were shocked to say the least when we heard that you had passed.  Since then, I have thought back to the much better times when we worked at the PD together, the firing range competition and of course when we lived together as "bachelors."  I guess the good lord needed another good officer to watch the gate for him.  Rest In Peace my friend.

Jimmy - you were a really good guy, a great Dad and a really good cop.  While others may not understand, in LE circles "good cop" is the highest compliment.  

Thanks for the call on your way down, Im glad we had that chance to chat.  

Prayer to Maria and family.

Remember the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey? Of course you do. Remember Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood)? That's them about 6 years ago. SUPER nice guys but my have we all changed.

The gent to my left is a real spaceman: Alexei Leonov, a Russian Cosmonaut who was the first human to actually do a spacewalk. He did this March 18th, 1965.

I thought sharing this photo is in theme with our class.
