Today was my stepdad's 70th birthday. My girlfriend and I flew down to Yuma Arizona to celebrate with him.
He began a 40+ year career in law enforcement in the 70's as a town Marshal in Idaho carrying a Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Magnum.
A couple of years later, he got a job as a police officer in a nearby larger town.
His duty weapon for that job was a S&W Model 19-2 w/ a 4" barrel. He stayed with that department for 42 years and was the Chief of Police for 22 years.
In the 80's, he had four kids, including my handicapped brother, and was strapped for cash. He was forced to sell his beloved S&W to my uncle.
Tonight, my uncle gave it back to him for his birthday.
Dad was really touched...
