my cousin carl and his wife betty live in san francisco
their son dave married his girlfriend last year
I was invited to wedding but did not go
(Bill and I did not want to leave dogs)

when betty called me in october to tell me bout family emergency back in nyc
she mentioned the bride's brother lived in tucson
and was shot by policeman

when I told patty in the pool (her hubby and son are both cops)
she said the guy had been sleeping with the cop's wife
the cop had been on suspension for having mental problems

it doesn't sound sensible to be sleeping with a policeman's wife

patsy said she met the policeman
he is one of her son's friends
he is very nice man
but he had been having mental problems
and received temporary suspension
his mental problems made him too violent
