“If you read this book you might
learn a little, but I know you will laugh a lot. You just can’t make this stuff
up and besides the statute of limitations has expired on most of it by now”.
“When I was young it was all about
running from the police, chasing wild women, egging houses, breaking windows,
getting away, getting caught, winning fights, losing fights, making out with
girls, skipping school, sneaking out at night, discovering the joys of
gunpowder, friends dying, friends leaving, getting stabbed, getting shot, a
brick in the head, summer camp for New York City troubled youths, leeches,
outhouses, falling in love, falling out of love, first striptease show, wild
women, wilder women, getting thrown out of the Boy Scouts, being a kid all
alone in New York City, driving cars, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, making
money, going to night clubs and then I turned thirteen”. “Funny how the biggest
hell raisers always become police when they grow up”!
Excerpt from book: “I was on my hands and knees in the pitch
black, crawling toward my partner’s voice as he struggled in the dark. The two
men were fighting for possession of my partner’s gun. Feeling my way as I went,
guided by frantic shouts of “shoot him, shoot him”, I finally located them by
touch. Using my sense of touch my left arm grabbed all four of their legs and
feet as they thrashed about on the ground. I could barely make out their shoes
in the darkness. Straining my vision to the limit, I could see a shade of white.
Since I knew my partner was not wearing white sneakers, I took out my revolver
and held the tip of the barrel against the vague patch of white and pulled the
trigger.”
“Serving as a
police officer in the city of Greensboro, N.C. from 1970 to 1982, I started out
as a young patrol officer and advanced through the ranks to become a
robbery/homicide detective. I had many
humorous and exciting adventures during this time and I am sharing some of them
for the first time. After leaving law enforcement I went on to become a real
estate investor, inventor and businessman. I am now in his sixties and still
married to the same beautiful lady for 45 years. I now have time to tell about
the many true adventures I have had in funny game of life. I believe this
collection of some of my true life experiences needs to be documented. I thought it would be fun to share these
adventures with my family and friends, but the writing process turned out to be
pretty good therapy as well. Most of
these memories are funny, some are serious, some are surprising and others may
be a little frightening, but all of them are entertaining and true. I have
always done whatever I had to do to survive and I have had a lot of laughs
along the way. I have always thought that life is just a funny game”.
