Thank you for sharing that with all of us.
That is so great, but I had to laugh...you spoke of retiring after 24 years
with the LAPD.....and here you go right back into a position that one would

Congratulations to you and Charm !
You have every right to be proud, and as my Mom used to say "pleased as
punch", with Charm and yourself as you enter into this phase of your lives
together by giving service.
