My dad was a NYS Trooper and talked about Trooper Hudson often while I was growing up and they were good friends. My dad said he was a musician and played guitar. I have the acoustic guitar that Trooper Hudson played when my dad was looking to buy one. Trooper Hudson played this guitar in the music store and told my dad that this is the one you should buy. My dad gave it to me over 10 years ago and I have cherished it ever since. I dont think I ever met him but I sure heard his name mentioned many times about what a great man he was. May you rest in peace Trooper Hudson and know that you are remembered and respected by my father and myself for as long as I shall live.
