Connie and I worked many auto theft cases along with Jerry Cox. He was one good cop.

From the Book of Ruth- "Where you go, I will go. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God." From the moment I came puttering up the lake singing, "We love you Conrad," you made me a part of your family. Thank you for your generous spirit and for welcoming me into your fold. It has been an honor and a privilege to be your favorite daughter-in-law.
