Occupation: Retired Memphis police officer

Life since 1969: As the Grateful Dead said: What a long strange trip it’s been. I graduated from Memphis State in ’73 and joined the Memphis Police Department. That helped me get divorced pretty quickly, as if I needed help. I retired from the MPD in ’06 and moved to the Smoky Mountains with the woman who puts up with me, Judy. We’ve been married 25 years, and we’re living happily ever after.
I fish, hike and camp in the natural wonders of east Tennessee. In August I hiked up Mt. Le Conte in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and spent the night in the lodge with my 34-year-old son. I’m also blessed with a stepson and four grandbrats.
I read a lot, and I write fiction and very bad poetry. I relax barbecuing in the back yard, listening to Jimmy Buffett – chilling and grilling.
It’s good to be alive.
Nice site, David Garrett. Well done.
