My granddad was a policeman of Johnson City, Tennessee and he worked on security duty for the schools in Johnson City, Tennessee especially Training school where my mom was a student from kindergarten to graduated from High School and that is where she met my dad when he was student teacher getting his degree in teaching from ETSU. Their love was first true love. They married March 15, 1957 after he was in the army for a year and she went for the freshman year before they married.

Also this his police badge that he gave to me for safe keeping before he died.
