Any respect, I have left for cops is going away fast.

I'm sorry to say I lost mine years ago,and it happened in Cookesville,Tennessee. It was 1967,and I was driving cross country back to Bragg after having served on Okinawa for a couple of years. Visited a buddy teaching ROTC in Reno,Nv,and bought a 56 Caddy Coupe de Ville to play "Hud" with as I drove cross country. Was stopped at a closed gas station outside Cookesville and taking a nap when the local cop tapped on my window with a night stick. SOB took me into custody for "suspiscion of car theft" because I didn't have a title to the Caddy,only a bill of sale and temporary registration. I also didn't have a title for the 1934 Plymouth I was pulling that I had bought in Flagstaff. Next morning I was told that if I posted a 50 dollar bond they could let me go,"pending the successful investigation of ownership". I didn't have the 50 bucks,so they kept me a total of 71 hours before lettting me go,and telling me I had a hour to get out of the county before I would be arrested again for loitering. Oddly enough,both the 34 Plymouth I was pulling and my tool box had mysteriously "dissapeared" from the police impound yard when I was released.

Keep in mind that this was 1967,and that I was traveling on military travel orders and had my dress uniform with me. The cop that arrested me was named "Bill",and he had a MP crossed pistols tie-tac on. He KNEW I had no other choice but to go on to Bragg because I couldn't afford to be charged with AWOL.

"Bill",if you are still out there,I ain't forgot ya,buddy! I hope one day you brag to me about the 34 Plymouth you used to have. I have a little trick I want to teach you.
