Merry Christmas, all I wanted was my family to be together, but my family got me some fantastic gifts- first is me this morning with the walking stick my youngest son made

second is an antique gold pocket watch and chain from the 1800's my wife got me on one of her inspections in Alaska

and my last big gift is amazing- it is a real Hawaii Five-0 badge signed by Jack Lord as "Aloha, Steve McGarrett" . You can not buy these. We saw one of these at the retired generel of Tripler Hospitals house in a display frame and he told my wife how he got it. My wife then found the Head of the provost marshals at Tripler and asked if she could buy one to give me. He said that she could not buy one, that the deal he made with Jack Lord was that they needed to be earned. He told her that when Five - o ended in 1980 he was a Detective with HPD and a cosultant/ actor/ body guard and friend of the actors and he gave him 50 of the autographed gold shields. He told my wife that he only had 3 left and wanted to know about me, she told him and must have somehow impressed him that he signed " Book em Rick" above Jack Lords signature.
