Gathering of old cops




Today we met with a few of Charles' old buddies from his police service days in Miami. (And some of their wives) We all met for an early dinner at a restaurant in Belleview.(about 20 miles so. of our place.) and then went to one couples' home for coffee and dessert and another hour or so of visiting- and hearing stories of the 'old days!'
An enjoyable time was had by all.

These guys were all on the Metro Dade, Sheriff's Dept. during the same time-some went through the police academy together!
They all go back a long way! :)

So many of the policemen from Miami have retired here in central Florida.
And why not? It's a great place to live!



Here's some pics from our day.....

    Loved the photos. I have a daughter on the Los Angeles Police Force. Check out my post about her http://www.silverfox-whispers.com/2005/05/14/my-poster-child/ As you can see I am very proud of her.

    I also love your poetry. What a talent for writing!
