It´s been 9yrs, and when I think of you I still laugh and say instead of trying to get out of the job just do the case report. Fyi ,I´ve been retired 8yrs...

We met and rode together in 2004 ,while in the 005th District. Eventually I met your wife and boys, all I can say is we had fun. When I last saw your family I let them know that you were a good person, and I'm a good judge of character.
