Description

In September 2000 I was sitting on a bench facing the Mediterranean Sea in the French Riviera town of Nice I had flown there during a threeday break in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial in Camp Ziest Netherlands where I was expected to testify As I sat on this bench eating lunch I suddenly found myself overwhelmed by emotion It was an awakening I realized that my being there was the fulfillment of one of my many life dreams and goals that were launched thirtyone years earlier from another bench facing the Three Sisters Ponds in Baltimores Druid Hill Park Now from a bench in the French Riviera I began to chronicle the manifestation of those dreams and goals accomplished through my thirtysixyear law enforcement career as a Baltimore City policeman and FBI agent
