An earlier picture of George Sheldon, at work as Chief of Police near Hershey, Pennsylvania (circa 1980). Waiting for another speeder, George was always ready to "sell" anyone another share of stock in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that was foolish enough to speed past him. It was these days that George began really working toward becoming a published writer. It was his good fortune to have met Charles W. Byrd.
