Hi again Jessi,

re: your confusion about my history in S. F.
Both Fred and I were in the Air Force Police and at the time we were discharged the City of San Francisco was soliciting applicants from all over the United States for their Police Force. They had the reputation of being one of the best and were offering better training and salary than other large cities. So since Fred and I were ex military police we thought that we would apply. Plus Fred had told me how great it would be to live along the West Coast of America and I thought it would be a good plan to have a friend I could trust if I moved into a new life in California.

If you have been watching the weather news recently, you can understand why California seemed attractive. I love Indiana and I love snow, for about a week at a time. (smile)

But things change and I have later discovered that God had a life all planned out for me even then.

WARM regards, Indiana Bob Breyfogle

by the way I did get to the S. F. Bay area about forty years later for a brief visit. Didn't see Fred Butler though.

  Both of my parents were in the U.S. Air Force in Missouri. :) They moved around a lot when I was really little, (North Dakota, Florida, Flagstaff, Arizona) and then they were both honorably discharged before I really remembered all the different places we lived. My earliest memories are in Phoenix, AZ...and then we moved to the Seattle area in Washington state when I was five. Then when I was 11 years old, my family moved to a little town in Oregon called Vernonia. It's a logging town..:D I knew lots of folks that had similar (hazardous) jobs to your friend you told me about. I left Vernonia when I was 18 to live at the Oregon Coast... I have visited several places in the Pacific Northwest, but I've only lived in areas within an hour or two of Portland for some reason. :P I met my husband in Portland, and we have moved all over the Portland Metro area in our 11 years of marriage.

 Grants Pass is a four or five hour drive south from us...I live in one of many suburbs of Portland, but I would love to move somewhere more rural.  Urban life doesn't really suit me anymore..:P

  I was a little confused about something you said in your post, and maybe I read it wrong, so I will just ask :)...You said you considered moving to Oregon with your friend, and that you both considered joining the S.F.P.D. Were you both thinking of then relocating to California? San Francisco is about 400 miles south of Grants Pass, although Grants Pass is only about 60 miles from the Northern border of California...:P

  I've actually never been to California...my little sister moved there, though. :)
