HJFinAZ: 40 some odd years ago my dad and I owned a hotel/restaurant/saloon, I was also a deputy sheriff and serving my apprenticeship as a drunk.
I was working 3rd shift at the department and was involved in a shooting (my one & only), after all the paper work was complete and I had a chat with my superiors, I was relieved of duty pending IAD investigation to assure it was a justifiable shooting. I was a punk kid, scarred to death. I did what any good drunk would have done, I went on a bender for 2 days. My wife (at the time) was fed up with my crap, naturally we argued.
I was at the saloon, talking with dad, trying to justify all my actions. Pop went up to the office, he returned about a half hour later and handed me a piece of paper with the following typed on it.
I have had this framed and hanging on a wall for years, not exactly sure what made me think of it today and why I think it is good to post it.
Any idea what the "Old MAn" may have been trying to tell the snot nosed punk that thought he knew everything??
It is a very good list of advice. Thank-you for sharing, Pat. As for why, perhaps the thread under polls bashing police officers?
