Line of Duty Death - 

" A Friend "


Mongo

 

Mongo is a dear friend - I taught him about fingerprints and crimes
scenes more than 25 years ago - I particularly remember him because he
was so hungry to learn about the way it fit together - He was that way. At future crime scenes that I processed - he was up in my face asking


"Barry, you got enough to convict ? " - He was on his beat for more than
20 years on Church Hill where St.' John's Church is located - where
Patrick Henry yelled to the top of his lungs " Give me Liberty or Give
me Death " - Mongo's last words were " He shot me ! ! ! "... In death


Mongo marched at the front of the Line - " The Thin Blueline. "A lone Piper pipes " Amazing Grace " - tears on hardened faces of
brothers in blue - for fact the song could be for them is oh so
true........................

Miss ya my Brother .......... Barry
