After graduating from Uni I enlisted in the Navy and spent two tours of duty in Vietnam before returning in 1969. I then joined the Los Angeles Police Department and spent the next 12 years in South Central Los Angeles as a training officer. Injuries caused an early retirement so I went back to school and completed a Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degree. This year I complete my 25th year of teaching in community colleges. I am a Criminologist, Law Professor and author of numerous texts on criminal and evidentiary law. My wife and I are both pilots and own two planes. This hobby and my wood shop fill all of my spare time. What I best remember about my time at Uni was being a T-Timer and cruising the A&W with Scott Smith, Candy Optican and Joan Fields. Boy were those the "good-old-days".
