I drove the M151A2 to one of my Legion branch's assigned canvassing spots. Partly as a draw and because the weather was still tolerable. The main city cop shop is 2 blocks away and as I turned left across traffic to get to my destination, I spotted a cruiser pulled off the main roadway. Maybe something was happening, dunno. So around the corner I go and find a promanent parking spot. Next thing I see that cop car pulling up beside. Gulp!
The officer comes out and immediately explains his interest is purely personal. He introduces himself as a friend of a fellow MLU'er and explains he has a frame-off restoration of an M38. I had on my OMVA hat too. (Phew! Among friends!) As usual we talked about the demilitarization and the rewelding. He wished me well and went back to his post.
