I have been married 34 years this April and recently retired from the Independence, Missouri Police Dept. after 36 years. Loved my job but I also love being retired. Retirement has allowed me to begin working on my family tree and while doing so I discovered Find A Grave. Both ancestry work and Find A Grave are similar in many ways to police work. It is about developing solid leads and solving a puzzle. I am glad to help in any photographic requests in my area as this fits with a lifetime interest in photography.
