Joe Wambaugh and my dad were the only two cops (former cops) living in our small city in the mid- 70s. When a new book came out Dad had us walk around the block and get him to sign it. I forced my boyfriend to take me to see the Onion Field at a local theater and Joe and his wife Dee were standing outside watching the reaction of the crowd. This then-high school girl loved it and told him. Wonderful man.
Hi Chris. You struck a nerve. I read almost all of LAPD Sgt. Wambaugh’s 📕 The Black Marble is 1 of my favorites at the time. Lines and Shadows. The Delta Star. Glitter Dome. For sure, Choir Boys was surreal of the LAPD back in the day. What a great sense of humor. He got Jamed up in the UK 🇬🇧. He was 1 hell of a story teller.
A classic! Both in print and on the TV screen. Rest in Peace Mr. Wambaugh.

THAT. Is a great story! Wow. Can't believe I missed this. Love that.
BTW: A Marine is a Marine for life. Same as a Cop.
