Another Newbie

Hi,
I received an e-mail from KEH.com detailing the forum and here I am!
I live in British Columbia, Canada, just twenty minutes south of Vancouver in a nice, small town, Ladner. I am retired from the police service, having spent forty-four years in UK, New Zealand and Canada. For thirty-eight of those years I was a forensic identification specialist.
I have been retired for ten years and don 't miss those 3:00 a.m. calls to tell me there's a homicide scene to process. When I left the job as the Supervisor of my section, I left it in good hands and the four specialists are a highly-trained and dedicated bunch. All are graduates of the Canadian Police College and three have attended the FBI Academy.
Photography was part of my duties and developed into an off-duty interest which I used to relieve the stress of my Day Job. It worked well for me and I (think) retained my sanity. The results can be seen at www.pbase.com/deewun
Glad to be onboard and look forward to meeting a friendly bunch of people.
Dave Roberts
