PHARMACEUTCAL TO POLE LINE HARDWARE

BOYLE PHARMACEUTICALS , inc.

And a great time was had by all.

About three years selling drugs and
I was getting nowhere.   I started to
look around for oportunities.

I was actually tired of driving long
distances,  waiting interminably to
see clients and I was not getting
rich, not even well off.

Then an officer of General Electric
offered me a job, built it up .  Said
as soon as I learned the business
they would promote me sales and
this business paid dramatically
better than drugs.

It was a dumb move.  The officer
that made all the great promises
was fired for being a drunk and
I just kept spinning my wheels.

I quit.

Back to the want ads.   Actually
a guy in the warehouse at G.E.
told me about it.   He said, "you
wouled make a good cop, of
course you would have to go to
school first and take a lot of
courses or you would`nt make
it."

That did it.  Tell me I can`t do
something and I`ll do it.

Took the next exam, I passed
number one, went to academy
and the rest is history , well it
accounted for nearly thirty
years of the rest of my life.

It was a turbulent time--- I was
popular with the press, a
Captain was jealous tried to
get me fired--- the men came
to my defense .

Oakland City College and an
AA in Administration of Justice.
A   B.A in Social Psychology.
An MA  in Public Administration.

Peace Officer Standards and
Training  awarded me all the
certificates up to and including
a Management Certificate.

Then I left and was made Manager
at Alameda Patrol Service , a year
or two, then I was hired by
Burns International Security
Services , Inc.  for about three years.
Sales of Guard Services and alarms.

Then I was hired by Alarm Network
as Manager in San Carlos, Calif.
Alarm Network was a subsidiary of
Eureka Federal Savings bank.
My friend Jim Isom was paid $1,000
for finding me for EFS.

I realize that very little has been said
about most of these jobs, but they
date back in history and create small
interest today.

For anyone who is interested, I have
a few comments to make about
incidents that took place over the
years---- just ask.
