Retiree's Breakfast 9-18-08

Thursday morning. 9-18-08, retiree's from various area law enforcement agencies get together for our weekly breakfast at one of the local eating establishment. What makes these Thursday get togethers interesting is: A) you never know who's going to show up. B) The War Stories, fairy tales & and other topics are usually hilarious and if when you leave, your stomach doesn't hurt from eating too much of the good food served there, then your sides hurt from laughing so hard, you almost cry. And today was no exception. So scroll down and meet the folks who were there this morning and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE!!
