[DeputyDan]

I am a Deputy with the Sheriffs Dept. here (don't hold that against me lol!) and am assigned as the school resource officer for one of the county schools. This means I get to eat lunch with the kids and go through their LMC catalogs with them. I see more kids here carrying their LMC catalog around school than I do their math book! It seems like every kid here in this area is driving a 60's or 70's Chevy or Ford. We have one kid that has one of them Dodge lil red wagons with the pipes up the back of the cab. I think my whole day consists of hearing stories about how they were burning out on some county road and the State Troopers gave them a ticket lol! Anyway, here at least there is a strong base of these kids with these trucks. The part I love the most is they can bring them into the auto shop during the day and the teacher tinkers with the engine with them. You can guess where I spend most of my day. I think it's great that these kids can still get their hands on an engine that hasn't been taken over by computer systems and mess around with it. Most of them seem to get their trucks off their family farms and they have the great story of having been passed down from grandpa, to dad, to them.
