Please pardon the double post. I had to get up to do a car deal ( I am at work). According to my father and grandmother, my grandfather was medically retired from the Navy in 1945, because they said we was going blind. The next year he won "The U.S. Pistol Championships," whatever that was in 1946.

He worked at the prison at Ft Leavenworth, the San Antonio Police Department and was Chief of Police in Harlingen, Bryan and Victoria, Texas. My dad says that he was really big on training when he was Chief, and that all his officers had to be able to effectively fire the Remmington shotgun by holding the trigger in place and pumping the shotgun to fire. Help me out on this one does it sound right?

One of my fondest memories was him picking us up after day camp in the summer and driving me and my cousins home in his police car with lights and sirens..
