I had a professional relationship with Chief Robert Brown, for over 33 years. And a social one, for much of that time, too. WMU Police is the only agency, that I devoted my career to. Bob had a major impact on influencing, the development of my job related skills. I witnessed Bob's own achievements, as his career soared through the ranks, to become Chief. Some of my best memories are from my social interactions, with him. We were both on the department's bowling team, for a number of years, achieving great success as well. This activity helped relieve the everyday stress, from the rigors of the law enforcement field. As well as outside factors, that one might be experiencing. I have over three decades of memories; I will always have.
