In 2002 I attended a conference in Hawaii sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS). The attendees were assigned to U.S. Missions (Embassies, Consulates, official facilities) in East Asia and the Pacific regions of the world. I was a guest speaker in the conference. |

| 1991 | This is my class picture for the Correctional Officer course at the Criminal Justice Training Center. Since I was already attending the Police Academy I decided to complete this course so that I would understand what happens after the arrest process. I was the only student that was not employed by a police or correctional department, and in fact paid my way through the police and correctional courses. |

| 1989 | The California Conservation Corps (CCC) offered me the opportunity of working in the forest, fighting fires, and providing emergency response such as flood control. I was stationed in Lake Tahoe, CA and had the opportunity to fight a few forest fires that year. One of these pictures shows us taking a lunch break from fighting a fire. After sucking in all the smoke and dust for several hours, what harm is there in eating with dirty hands. |

| 1983 | My freshmen year of High School was at Patterson High in Patterson, CA. Patterson was a small city with a population of approximately 3,500 at the time. In reality, my brother Elias had taught me how to play the summer prior. Prior to that, I couldn't dribble or shoot to save my life. We won the Trans Valley League (TVL) Championship that year. I was number 40 |

| 1977 | I have few memories of playing Pee Wee League baseball as child. I can distinctively remember getting a solid hit at the end of the game, but until I found this article I had forgotten that we had won the championship. Our team name was the Purple’s; this was before community league teams were named after professional league teams (1977). I’m standing directly in front of the coach. |
