Greetings all, 6 August, 04:47MST

My thanks to all of you for your kind comments. I hate to miss a chance to do something good for someone else.

Sheriff and his immediate éntourage came to the banquet when we made the presentation. We had the Boise City Police Pipes and Drums come to pipe the tartan into the banquet room. I am big on pomp and circumstance, as it were. It was way cool.

A couple weeks later, I did another dedication in front of the entire assembled Department. As I was explaining the colors in the tartan, one of the detectives who had been shot during an investigation got all choked up over the significance of the red overcheck line.

I don't like to toot my own horn. It is humbling to have the praise of you good folks and others who admire the things I have done.

Fide et Fortitudine, aye!

T.
