Watched her receiving an award a short time ago on YouTube. She looks great for 80 years

I am going to lose all credibility but I have to respond to your post relative to your being from Halifax.

I got a couple "Jesse Stone" DVDs at Tractor Supply store a few years ago. I was hooked with the accuracy depicting Police Work. I then obtained the 9 volume series which was filmed in Halifax and surrounding area as I am sure you know. My wife even got me the iconic PPD baseball cap a big part of the series.

I highly recommend the series which I consider excellent streaming escapism in these hectic times. Dollar General has 8 of the 9 episodes in 2 sets of 4 each for $10.00 each. A great buy when in stock.

The author of the books and series Robert Parker was born in Springfield Massachusetts, who also authored the "Spencer for Hire" novels and series based in Boston Massachusetts.

I was a 30 year veteran of the Holyoke Massachusetts Police Department, and served as Police Chief there from 1991 to 1994. Holyoke is the next town over from Springfield MA where Robert Parker was born and I assume gathered information for the series. Neighboring towns and establishments are also in the series.

I was involved in some controversy and subject to a great deal of media coverage.

This is where I lose all credibility.

While watching the "Jesse Stone" series a number of things mirrored my life and police experience, so much so, that I jokingly claim to be the real Jesse Stone.

Examples in the series that mirror me are: My mother died young, never smoked a cigarette, did not get a college degree, had to perform "Good guy Bad guy" interrogation single-handedly, owned a Golden Retriever, and was the target of corrupt police and city councilors. Other coincidences escape me right now.

On the opposite side I never shot anyone and didn't have women fall all over me like they do for Tom Selleck

Maybe Parker followed local media for gathering source material maybe not.

I understand that there are Jesse Stone watch parties, and Tom Selleck has stated it was his best work and intended to produce another one. I don't think that will ever happen.

I also recommend YouTube "Filming Locations" for the Jesse Stone series.

Now that I have lost all credibility, I am still a Jim Reeves Fan
