MY ORIGINAL P.O. BADGE

This is actually the first badge I ever got on my own. I purchased it from H. Buchlien & Son in Newark and I believe it cost me $12.00. Of course that was a long time ago - 1965 to be exact.

I got it in late July following my appointment as a County Probation Officer. That was just a few days after graduating from Bloomfield College.

During my college years I thought I would go into education. My father sure let me know not to go near a police or other job in law enforcement. But the starting salary of $6200 was too much to turn down.

Thirty years after taking that job I found myself settled in as Chief PO. Now that was something I could have never dreamed of, but luck shined on me. I hung on as Chief for five years.

Now holding that first badge brings me back, would you believe, fifty plus years. There sure are a ton of memories over that time, and they all seem like yesterday. That is Okay because Memories are what I am collecting.

MY "BOLO" ON BEATRICE ALLISTON

Just a few days ago, I let the world know, I started looking for one Adult Female named Beatrice  somewhere in the Newark NJ area. I issued a "Blog Bolo" (a new tech thing).Everyone knows that this was (not) a hunt for a Major Crime figure. It is only something this retired Dude needs to pursue for the sake of his sanity. The only clue is that Newark had her on April 19, and made a record of her, under Gallery Number 5814.  Beyond that number "we (I assume you are all working on this)"  will find out what happened to her. 

Stay tuned....
