I went to the National Law Enforcement Memorial this week and looked up your name, Jack, as I have done several other times.
You were one of my first training officers on morning watch in Southeast Division. You taught me so much and treated me so well. Even though I was one of the early females on LAPD you never gave me a hard time for that.
I learned from you how to put bad guys in jail and have fun at it.
I still think of you often and am so sorry that your life was cut short. RIP.

Lisa. Retired.
LAPD. Partner and friend.
