Oscar,

It has been ten years since my last reflection on here. I have retired and come back to Law Enforcement twice since then. It is because of missing being around good guys like you that keeps bringing me back. I often think of you and Barry and wonder what kind of lives and careers you would have had. Semper Fi, my friend. Until Valhalla...
