DON'T FORGET ORLANDO SHOW ON SEPTEMBER 1 ST.

Hey Readers I hope you don't forget the big show coming up on Sep. 1.

It will be held at the ROSEN PLAZA on International Drive.

My sources say the show is "Sold Out" with over 100 tables set to fill the room. I reserved a couple early on to make sure I got a nice spot. I have even bribed my Grand Son to help me out.

I hope to see some old badges, and new faces. Bring a smile and get one back. Take care Guys.

ORIGIN OF MY COLLECTION

1967 was the year of the Newark Riots. My Dad was a Newark Detective near the end of his career; and I was just beginning a career as a Probation Officer. Shortly after the riots my Dad gave me a couple of badges he acquired over the years. They sat around in a desk drawer for a couple of years. Eventually I put them on a shelf - never knowing that this was the beginning of my collection. My father died in 1974 leaving me his retirement detective shield. The word "Retired" had been put in the number panel. He didn't like that and knocked it off. He had the original number put back, but this was absolutely "no work of art." None the less I am proud to have it. It stands today "under glass" in my den along with other items from Newark and other NJ communities. I have been "The" Badge Collector ever since (50+ years).
