Boy I haven't heard that term (Kel-light) in many a day. Thanks for the

memory.

At 03:47 AM 02/05/2001 +0000, my buddy Roy Mumaw said several things,

amongst which was this gem:

(regarding a speaker from a Ventura County Law Enforcment agency)

Several years ago I was lucky enough to be at our Academy to witness a

class of cadets graduating to become officers. Their family members, of

course, were also there to witness the grand event. REALLY impressive.

Standing next to me was a .. let's say " tenured " ...Comm Sup of my

acquaintance. She took a drag of her cigarette and blew out the smoke,

then said, " Isn't that sweet. Look at all those cute young officers and

their first wives.... "

THAT was the voice of experience, all right.

Happy to be here, proud to serve.

Thanks Roy, I missed that, it was just no natural to see Kel-light I

never thought about it. As a Reserve Officer on the street in those

times I carried a Seven, C-cell Kel-Light, it fit the baton ring so well

I never carried a baton.
