    ByWayne Willis August 27, 2011January 25, 2018

    After the wedding, reception and honeymoon in July of 1971, I took a “leave of absence” from the New Haven Police and set off on a long road trip with Steph.  I had NO IDEA what I wanted to do “when I grew up.”   I knew the PD wasn’t for me, and I no…

    Wolfe Glick Reigns Supreme in the US

    ByWayne Willis July 18, 2011January 25, 2018

    Last weekend, the family was on pins and needles as we learned that Wolfe Glick, who is my neice’s 15 year old son, was advancing nicely in the Pokemon video game Championship Series.  A couple weeks before that, he had won the regional competition and gotten the opportunity to go to “nationals” — where kids…
