Mike In LA and List,
I am a little overwhelmed by all the positive support of you all. I can tell
Mr. Thomas that I nor any of the peer group of police officers and deputy
sheriff's I have worked with both in Los Angeles, as a thirteen year vet
with them, or up her for the past sixteen years have ever let there ego put
the public safety at risk. They care to much for the people we serve, their
own families and people they don't know to put anyone at risk other than
themselves. Of course they always get monday morning quarter backed by some
chief or other department executive who have their own agenda to serve,
usually seperate and away from what the public wants and needs in the way of
public safety. The vast majority of the people serving us in law enforcement
serve with honor and I as one am proud to be associated with a bunch of
speed freaks who really do know right from wrong. Let's put this puppy to
bed and get to racing, Muroc is just around the corner and I really want to
crack 200 in the dirt. God Bless You All,
Dave Haller #93 C/GAlt
