Leo, when I was Bail bonding, we had a fella named Jimmy Don Thornton run on us, my step daughter contacted a physic that she had met a few weeks earlier, my wife and step daughter got a lead that Jimmy Don had been seen in Topeka Kansas and went to check with some people that were supposed to know something,
while they were gone, the physic called, I talked to her, she said he was hiding in an area with miles and miles of growing crops and every few miles would be some tall, cylinder shaped buildings, well they were in Kansas, wheat fields streatching for miles and silo's to hold the wheat when it was harvested,
he had left when they got to where he had been seen but he had been there. so we got in touch with the physic again, this time she saw snow on the mountain tops and ski areas,

well the next week, America's Most wanted had a piece on Jimmy Don Thorton, long story short, when he saw himself on Americans Most wanted he had a minor heart attack and wound up in the Hosiptal and he was taken into custody, he was in Vail Colorado, so she was generally right about all she told us.

on another note Jimmy Don Thorton was Billy Bob Thorton's cousin.

It's a labor of love for me and a way to remember and honor my Dad who served in the Army Air Corps in WW2.

Bro. Tex, I sure would like to see his picture again. He's my Hero.

I'm in the same boat Pop. Somewhere out there are some valuable (to me) pictures an no one seems ta know where they are.

Same here, Leo. I also have a reel to reel tape out there someplace that I'd love to have back. It has the Stage Band Comp. we went to when I was still in high school. Had our band and two others from the Columbus area. there's a dynamite solo on there by one of those Columbus groups. I remember that the whole trumpet section was using the new( then) Conn 60-B Super Connnstellation's. what a sound they had! The 60-B was one of the first super horns developed in the mid to late '60's. Those and the King Silver Flair's, and the Getzen Doc Severinsen's were the first of the super horns.
There's a 60-B on Ebay now that's almost mint, first one I've seen the last few months I've been watching. By the time the auction's done, that one's gonna go pretty high. Of all the vintage horns, that's one model I would love to get an example of...........Buck

You sure do got the bug Buck. Not ta go to far off topic but I do still have an LP of our Jr high band with pictures of all of us on the cover. It was lost for several years until my Dad found it.

Texas Lawdog · « **Reply #793 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:44:17 PM »

I don't have any of his AAC pictures that I can lay hands on. I've got a picture somewhere of him sitting behind his desk as Sheriff. Hopefully this winter I will unearth them.

My Great Grandfather was on the first motorcycle squad for the Pittsburg PD. My grandmother had two pictures of him, one with just him in uniform standing by his bike and another of the whole group. He starded out as a beat cop before the bikes came. No one seems to know where those pictures ended up.

Texas Lawdog · « **Reply #795 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:43:26 PM »

Leo, I'm sure that Pittsburg PD has a Museum and I bet that they have probably got some pictures of the first motor cops. You had never told me about your GG grand dad being a Cop. I've been there a lot of times on extraditions, we even drove up there a couple of times during the summer.

Leo Tanner · « **Reply #796 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:27:31 PM »

Yeah, he was a typical Irish cop on the east coast back in the old days. His last name was Jennings. We'd go ta visit my gramma every year and I used ta stare at those photos fer hours. Prolly where my love affair with the two wheelers got it's roots.

Now you have me wondering what my Selmer tenor sax would be worth these days. Cost me about $275.00 in 1961.
