My story

About the Author

My memories include family experiences of the Depression, WW11, my father was in the Korean war, the 50’s, and crazy 60’s. I was born in 1945, by 1950 I knew I would be in law enforcement. Vietnam was my war and I sent my boy to the Gulf war in 1991. I married at 21, 2 kids. In 1974 I became a deputy sheriff. I retired in 2001 and became a part time officer in a small town to keep busy and there I had to resumed my career as a homicide detective retiring again in 2007.

I became bored and wrote a book, and I was encouraged to write more. My youngest son and his youngest son are both LEO’s. I finished my college degree while working. I am now 80 years old, and I wish I could contribute my age to clean and careful living. I accomplished a lot of firsts for women in  law enforcement.
