So, it went with the rest of the semester. I also did classes on Use of Force and Autism/Mental Health. In each lecture my PowerPoint presentation included examples and videos of recent incidents where police officers had been videoed going way beyond what was needed. Is it necessary to shoot criminals? Sure! It happens all the time! Is it necessary to stand over the body of a dying criminal and put an entire magazine into their body? Is it necessary to shoot an unarmed teenager in the back because you think he had something in his hand when the crime he committed was backtalking to a police officer? And is it necessary to shoot a naked unresponsive man sitting in the middle of an intersection whose only crime seemed to be blocking traffic?

To my mind, many of these incidents happen because of the training police officers receive, going back to their time at the academy and then continuing to their training on the force. You would hear things such as “If one bullet is needed, a dozen is better!” and “Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six!” This is combined with the idea, frequently reported by politicians, that our heroic police officers had the most dangerous job in America. My mother constantly told me that. The fact of the matter is that being a police officer wasn’t anywhere near the most dangerous. Depending on the source of the data and statistics, being a cop was somewhere between #15 and #20 on the list. The really dangerous jobs were things like logging, farming, and construction. Try telling that to Mom!

Not everybody at the academy agreed with what I was teaching, but enough agreed that I was allowed to give my presentations. What everybody seemed to agree was that more than ever before, police forces were under public scrutiny, and at a level unheard of in earlier times. More and more officers were wearing bodycams, and security cameras were everywhere in metropolitan areas. Don’t even mention that everywhere they went somebody was aiming a smartphone at them! My point was that police officers had two choices about being shot with cameras. They could fight it and lose or live with it and smile. One thing many officers didn’t consider was using the omnipresent coverage to help them. Somebody is running away, and you don’t know if they have a gun? Stop and grab up all the video footage from doorbell cameras and security cameras, then run the footage through facial recognition software. The odds were increasing daily that you could figure out who the criminal was, and then go in calmly with overwhelming force at a time of your choosing. Not everyone agreed with this, but as more cameras came into use and as the software became better, it was becoming a standard technique.

Kelly came for a visit at the end of the first week of February. She left the offspring with her parents and packed a small bag, and then drove to Athens. Fortunately, she had told me her plans ahead of time, so I was at the apartment and not at the library. She came over after her last class at Matucket State, arriving around half past three. She knocked on the door, but when I opened it, she already had her copy of the apartment key in her hand. “Hey, babe! Am I happy to see you!” I said.

She came in and hugged me tightly. “I missed you even more! Oh, I am so happy to see you!” She kissed me and then stepped back. “Here, take this.” She handed me a small suitcase and stepped into the apartment with me.

“How are the kids? Your mom has them?”

She nodded. “She and my father, at least until they get an offer on them. Dad said he had contacts overseas in the slavery business and was going to make a few phone calls.”

I snorted and laughed. “Tell him to make the best deal he can. When they offer to sell them back, I want to make a profit.”

Kelly looked around the apartment. “This place looks even smaller than I thought it was.”

“Same size. I’ve just moved my stuff around, I guess.”

“Give me a few minutes. I need to clean up. I came here directly from class.”

I just nodded and she headed to the bathroom. I didn’t think about it at the time, but she carried her handbag with her. Then I heard the shower start up, so I decided to clean the place up a bit. That didn’t involve cleaning, though. I just sort of organized the mess and loaded my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Then I pulled a bottle of whiskey out and some Seven-Up and made a couple of drinks. They were ready in time for Kelly to come out of the bathroom.

“Whoa! That’s interesting!” I said.

Kelly had entered the bathroom in her hideous schoolmarm costume. She had come out in a tiny and transparent chemise. “Why haven’t you unfolded the bed?” she asked.

“What?”

“Grim, you didn’t think I came here for a weekend alone with you and was planning to walk around and see the sights of Athens, did you?”

I laughed loudly at that. “No, it’s just that I folded the bed up this morning before you came. I didn’t want you to think I was living like a slob. I normally leave it open.”

“Well, unfold it!” she ordered, laughing back at me.

I unfolded it so that it was lying flat again. As soon as it was set, Kelly hopped on and motioned me to join her. I chuckled and climbed on the bed with her. We spent the next couple of hours getting to know one another again. Kelly informed me at one point that she was suffering from Orgasm Deficiency Syndrome; I wasn’t around to take care of matters and now she was in a deficit situation.

“Is that like a budget deficit?” I asked.

“Basically.”

“I thought it was up to Congress to handle deficits. Maybe you want to call Drew Ferguson and ask him about it? He’s our Congressman.”

Kelly squawked about that and told me that not only did I need to take care of the deficit, I needed to build up a surplus for the future! I laughed at that but got back to work. That kept us busy until dinner. After that we got up and got ready for dinner. I changed the sheets while Kelly showered, and then I cleaned up while Kelly dressed. When I came out of the bathroom, my wife was sitting on the bed wearing a calf-length black wrap dress that showed a lot of leg and was slipping on some matching high heels. “You look great, babe, but I hope you brought a coat. It’s in the forties out there and windy,” I said.

“You sure about that? You might like what happens with this dress when it gets windy?” She stood and twirled around; the dress swirled lightly around her and showed her legs nicely.

“I do like it, but I don’t find pneumonia all that sexy.”

“I have a coat out in my car.”

“The Miata?” I asked. She still had the car her father had bought her when she turned sixteen.

Kelly nodded. “I left the minivan with my folks. It has the car seats in it, after all.”

I nodded in understanding. I put on some khakis and a dress shirt, and then went out to her car and retrieved her coat, a lightweight lined trench coat with a built-in hood. Then it was back into the apartment to give it to Kelly and grab my wallet. We were both familiar with Athens since we had gone to school at UGA. I had earned my masters here over the last few years, and Kelly had gotten all her degrees here. We decided to use her car and I would drive. There were any number of restaurants within a fifteen-minute radius.

First, though, I headed west on Atlanta Highway to a place I had seen driving around town. I pulled in and Kelly looked at me. “What in the world?”

“Come on. We can discuss the deficit situation inside.”

“Grim!”

“Give me a break, babe! I know you’ve been inside places like this. You’ve bought stuff at places like this.”

“No, I haven’t!” Kelly blushed deeply. “I did it online!”

“Well, now you get to see what it’s like. Take a walk on the wild side!” I got out of her car and went around to her door and opened it. “Come on, think of the wild tales you’ll be able to tell your mom and mine.”

“Oh my God!” Kelly climbed out of her car and took my hand as I led her inside Sexy Suz Couples Boutique. Sexy Suz was an adult emporium and sold adult toys, lubricants, lingerie, bondage gear, videos, and anything and everything related to sex that anybody could imagine. Kelly’s grip tightened as I opened the door. Unfortunately for her imagination, white slavers were not waiting for us inside. Instead, it was a fairly average store, only one that didn’t sell things you would find in the local Piggly Wiggly. It was all I could do not to laugh at her.

Kelly’s eyes popped as she saw what was inside. Rather than a dirty and dark illicit hole-in-the-wall, the place was well lighted and with large glass windows and was in a strip mall. “You want to check with your mom, see if she has any marital aid needs?” I asked.

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 33 The Cherokee Bar And Grill

Jim Talbot called me the next afternoon and told me that there was a lively discussion after I left, but that they hadn’t blown me off. I was still being considered by most of the council. He also told me that one of the other candidates had dropped out, citing the council’s inability to get its shit together. That cut it down to me and one other candidate. Sometime next week would be another interview, though that one would be in a smaller setting. What that meant wasn’t specified, but I...

2024 I was meeting with the staff at the academy in Forsyth when I got the call. It was Wednesday, January 17. We were talking about scheduling lectures on PTSD, mental illness, and use of force, and developing dates for the next few months. I had my phone on vibrate out of courtesy; my business line routed to my cell phone, and I didn’t want to be taking a call from one client while talking to another. The phone was in my shirt pocket and began vibrating. I ignored it and kept working, but...

Spring 2019 to May 2022 Saturday morning things started getting silly. I was home when it started, sacked out while Kelly got up to tend to the offspring, when she came in and said, “You’d better get up.” “What’s up?” “The President is complaining about you again.” I looked at her curiously. “Trump?” She nodded. “What’s wrong now? Jack tweeting again?” “I don’t know, but something set him off. He’s tweeting that the Army needs to yank your medals again,” she replied. I rolled my eyes...

Fall 2023 to Spring 2024 After the press conference I had a chance to call home and say hello to the kids. They already had heard I was a supercriminal and in prison for the rest of my life, so I had to tell them I had broken out and would be home later that night. They both promised to stay up to see me, which seemed unlikely to me. We didn’t leave Conover until almost eight. Both Delahoye and Ruskin had run out of things to ask me and agreed that they knew how to find me if they had any...

We were flying to Matucket on Saturday, and Teresa chartered a private jet to fly us direct. Saturday morning the funeral director brought back the photos and the video remembrance they had created, all boxed up so that we could load them on the plane.

Monday, Kelly told me that she was going with me to the lawyer’s office, and the way she said it indicated I had better not argue. I still wasn’t sure what Brockport could do for me that Stillwell couldn’t. Everything I had heard from the guys the other day showed that no matter how I got out of this, the County Attorney and the County Council would still demand they get rid of a killer, and I was still probationary. “Grim, just listen to what he has to say.

It was almost midnight by the time I got back to the apartment. Rather than being able to drink a beer or go to bed, however, the lights were on in both the apartment and in my grandparents’ house and the driveway was filled with my family’s cars. A bad afternoon and evening were about to get worse. I climbed the stairs up to the apartment, but by the time I got to the top, the door was open, and Kelly was standing there waiting for me. “How you doing, Grim?” “I’m good, babe.” She gave me...

December 21, 2007 The rest of the year I simply prepped for the academy, worked at the police station, and ‘assisted’ Kelly with wedding planning. Assistance basically consisted of doing whatever I was told I was doing, regardless of my personal opinions. White and rose orchids? Whatever you say, babe, they look wonderful! The fact that I couldn’t tell an orchid from a dandelion meant nothing. White cake, yellow cake, or chocolate cake? They all tasted delicious, but even if they tasted like...

Things got very strange from that point on. It wasn’t like I could just fly off to Washington so the President could slap on the Medal of Honor. Everything had to be coordinated. I was informed of the Medal of Honor on May 24, which was a Monday. My keepers, which is what the two light birds turned out to be, returned on Tuesday, June 1, to let me know the latest. The Army, by that time, had publicly confirmed that I was to receive the Medal of Honor, but that the ceremony was to be held at...

For the last few days President Trump had been on a Twitter rampage, demanding that the NFL players stand during the anthem, demanding the team owners and coaches fire them if they didn’t, and promising dire actions otherwise. Both Jack and I were getting slammed left and right, me for not complaining about the football players’ protests and Jack for not doing more. He was also bitching about Puerto Rico, primary elections, and fake news. No wonder he wasn’t doing his job - he was spending...

Things moved along through the summer. At times it seemed as if for every step we took forward we were taking two steps back. Still, some good things happened. Our new Auto Theft Division made a major arrest mid-June. They grabbed a few cars out of the impound yard and fitted them with GPS trackers and allowed them to be stolen. That generated enough information to get warrants on a pair of ‘chop shops’, garages where stolen cars could be taken and stripped for parts. Lieutenant Dupree of...

Kelly and I watched the news Monday night for about an hour, but it was getting repetitious, and we turned it off. By then Kelly was beginning to get some emails and tweets from people she was friends with, mostly asking what was going on. Most seemed confused, but several were rather vile. A few people wanted me to immediately fly to California and butcher my brother on the fifty-yard line, followed by ritually committing suicide. We went to bed, where Kelly tried to take my mind off...

Summer 2025 Kelly’s desire that I limit my time with travel and consulting led me to review my finances and priorities. I was doing a week every month in downstate Georgia and the equivalent amount of time teaching at various police academies. I was currently making between $1,000 and $2,000 a month from each of five different police and sheriff’s departments for consulting services and as a retainer. Special projects cost extra. In effect, that worked out to about $85,000 to $90,000 a year...

I spent a fair bit of time down in Sullivan County and the nearby environs, first analyzing what they had and then developing the options everybody needed to consider. One thing I stressed with them was that by standardizing on similar doctrine, training, and hardware, the SWAT teams created would be suitable for any eventual regional coordination. How the politics would work out was questionable, but it would be easier if the local units had similar...

2026 Riley’s incarceration proved to be as much of a pain in the ass for us as it was for her. One of us had to be her jailer at all times. I told Kelly that I should have taken the Basic Jail Officer course at Athens back when I was taking the Basic Law Enforcement Officer course. On the days I was home I drove her to school and back home. Sometimes it was Kelly who did the duty. When I was away teaching or consulting, and Kelly had classes, either her mother or mine had to take the detail....

That was basically the end of the craziness. From Chicago we flew home for a long weekend. Monday, we flew back to New York, and I went on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which proved interesting. Stewart was on the liberal side of the spectrum, but he always showed a lot of respect to the soldiers even as he crucified the politicians who got us into Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the interview was the standard questions, but at the end he asked me something nobody else had asked. Stewart:...

March 30, 2005 - April 2005 As soon as we were dismissed, the place broke into sheer pandemonium, as everybody tried to find their family members. I wasn’t even sure my family was there, so I ended up wandering around looking for a familiar face. I think the people who had it the worst were the spectators, since there were about a thousand of us all dressed alike and with the same haircut. Fortunately, I was a few inches taller than most and that made it a little easier. I slowly circulated,...

It looked like almost the entire platoon had arrived, led by Lieutenant Southerland. They rolled up to the front gate, actually driving over various body parts as they did so and stopped. The crashed Apache blocked the way in. The first guys to come inside the compound simply stood there and stared at the carnage, though a couple of guys tossed their cookies. Eventually somebody noticed I was standing there and Southerland and another couple of guys ran over to me. “Sergeant Reaper! Sergeant...

September 2022 “How was your trip?” asked Kelly once I sorted out Seamus and Riley bickering about something. “Pretty good. Straightforward, anyway. Just not successful, so to speak.” Kelly gave me an odd look, but before I could answer, the kids started up again. Seamus was teasing his older sister about something. I reached out and grabbed him by the back of the neck and asked, “Do I need to give you a lesson in barnacle clearance?” He grinned at me. “Think you can catch me? I’m not the...

It was warmer than I remembered it being, and brighter, and my sweatshirt and windbreaker were missing. I groaned and tried to move some more. That did hurt, quite a bit, and I tried to find a position it didn’t hurt, and I realized I hurt all over. I blinked my eyes, but only my left eye was...

The President put the ribbon around my neck, and everybody saluted and applauded. He gave me a whispered, ‘At ease.’, and I was able to break position and shake his hand in thanks. That was the end of the official ceremony, and it was time for a meet-and-greet. Mister and Mrs. Obama escorted me down off the stage and over to where...

After a few minutes I began to hear sirens, both police and fire department; I wouldn’t be alone for long.

When I got home, Kelly waved the pink canoe at me and told me it was my turn to paddle, and that I had fallen behind and needed to catch up.

Most everybody had filtered back, and we began with PT, physical training, including calisthenics and a four-mile conditioning run. I was hurting as bad as any of the other troops. Leave had left me soft. It didn’t matter, since I knew I would be back in shape in a few weeks, tops. Montoya and Gonzalez, the fuzzies just out of Benning, were in decent shape. Riley was coming off leave and was in about the same...

The Grim ReaperChapter 47 Job Hunting

Nothing job-related came to my attention by Friday afternoon. I speculated what the perfect job ad would look like - “Wanted! Matucket Firearms Corporation has an immediate opening for product design and testing in their Machine Gun Division! Iraqi war veterans with PTSD desired! Call now, operators are standing by!” I remembered that the AK-47 was invented by a busted-up Russian sergeant during World War II. Too bad there really wasn’t a Matucket Firearms Corporation, either with or without...

The Grim Reaper Adventures in Southern Law EnforcementChapter 15 Background Briefing

Monday, March 19, 2018 “Dispatch to One-Six-Three.” “One-Six-Three to Dispatch, go ahead.” Dispatch to One-Six-Three, say location.” I was curious as to why Dispatch wanted to know where I was, since they had sent me to supervise an accident at Pinetree and Glen Aubrey. There was a three-car pileup on Glen Aubrey after the first car, a silver Nissan sedan had suddenly braked for a squirrel. The next car, a red Ford Fusion had slammed into the Nissan from behind and had then been...

The Grim Reaper Adventures in Southern Law EnforcementChapter 20 Hospitalization

Mom got a text from Kelly that she and the kids would fly home early Saturday. Seamus was acting fussy, and it would be very late by the time they arrived on the East Coast. She told me she would call back when she got the kids fed and settled down. I was going to have to con my mother into loaning me her phone, so that she wasn’t listening in while we talked. It was late enough in the afternoon that it was time to watch the press conference on television. I turned it on and dialed through...

The Grim ReaperChapter 17 Summer

June to August 2002 The following week we had finals, and that was it. Seniors had to go through graduation, but the rest of us were out for a couple of months for the summer. For me that meant I had about a week of goof-off time before I had to go back to the mill full time. That would take me through all of June and into July, at which time it was back to practice for the football season, running twice-a-days and sweating off about ten pounds under the July sun. Somewhere during that...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 35 Chief Of Police

Holden looked at me curiously. “How can I help you, sir?” “Tell me about the department. How did you get the acting chief slot, for one thing? Seniority?” He nodded. “Basically. I was hired by Chief Babcock back when he was first hired. Shawn Warren was hired about a year later. He has Patrol.” “So, you’ve been a captain about two years, and he’s only been a captain one year.” Again, he nodded. “We weren’t even considered for the chief’s slot, at least not permanently. Besides, Chief...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 19 Decisions

I was glad I had asked for a brunch meeting and not a breakfast meeting. Kelly not only thanked me for being a hero when we got back to the room, she insisted on thanking me again the next morning! It’s too bad that the Herndons were flying back with us, because I would have bet a significant portion of my net worth that Kelly could have been talked into joining the mile-high club otherwise. Ah well... Mike Forrester and Bob Jenkins met us at ten in the cafe for the breakfast buffet. They...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 11 Hold the Line Part II

May 2019 The spring moved along, slowly at times, quick and harried at others. February saw Chris Balvin sending out advanced copies of his final draft for everybody involved to do a final edit. We were supposed to review it for any technical or factual errors; it was sent not just to Tolley and me, but also to Jose and Bob. The deal we all had was that any proceeds from the book would be split three ways. Chris was paid a flat $150k up front to write the book, and then he got a percentage...

The Grim ReaperChapter 49 Training

October 2007 - December 2007 Mid-October, about when it became obvious that I was going to stick it out and go to the academy, Tim Hungerford showed up at the rickety-bench-with-delusions-of-grandeur that I called my desk. He had a packet of paperwork with him. “Take a break,” he ordered. “You need to look this stuff over.” I looked at him. “Why? What is it?” “It’s the packet from the academy.” “Ah!” I nodded at that. “Let’s take a look. You’ve been through this, right?” Tim nodded....

The Grim ReaperChapter 59 Back to Work

Monday, May 26, 2008 Certain things worked out for me. The bullshit out of the CORB had gotten pretty extreme, and the Justice Department planned to investigate them and not me. The Review Board wasn’t helped when Pendergast was caught saying that he was hoping for the dissolution of the entire Matucket Police Department and its replacement by a federally supervised police force. That was considered more than a bit nutty, even for hard-core Democrats. In any case, it got me off the hook with...

The Grim ReaperChapter 27 Returning Home

June 2004 - August 2004 Word came down from Battalion that the rest of Second Brigade would be deploying to Iraq soon. It was expected that they would show up sometime in July, but no dates were available. What they would do then was not known, or at least not known to us down at Camp Custer. Where exactly they would be positioned wasn’t known or might change before they got here. However, one interesting tidbit came out. Fourth of the Fourth was going to get some leave. Over the next few...

The Grim ReaperChapter 22 Leave

I told my family to stay there, and I would get my gear and catch up to them. Kelly offered to follow me, but I had to explain that women were not allowed in the barracks, no way, no how! Luckily there was a parking lot near the barracks that would allow me to load my gear up. Dad had driven down in the F-150, so we could toss my stuff in the back and then ride home. The ride home was mostly taken up with my parents and Kelly asking me about the Army and my training. What did I do, what did...

The Grim ReaperChapter 41 Abu Dhabi

January 2007 Mom was very upset that I wasn’t going to come home on my leave. She just wasn’t buying my explanation about losing my squad. She wanted me to come home, squad or no squad. I think Dad understood, and he told me that his father understood, but Mom was very unhappy. I had been in the Army now for four Christmases, and three had been spent in Iraq. I didn’t even bother telling her about the incident at Yankee North. One of her latest kicks was, “Are you the only soldier in Iraq?...

The Grim ReaperChapter 56 End of a Career

I stared at Jerry for a second, and then ran over and knelt next to him. His upper right arm was mangled and bloody, and his face was covered in blood. “Oh, Jesus, Jerry!” I wailed, and then I grabbed the mike on my shoulder. ‘OFFICER DOWN! OFFICER DOWN! OH JESUS! OFFICER DOWN AT MATUCKET AND ELM! ONE-SIX-THREE TO DISPATCH! I NEED BACKUP AND AN AMBULANCE ... ROLL EVERYTHING! OFFICER DOWN!” Dispatch was saying something, but I didn’t pay any attention. “Oh, shit, Jerry, don’t you die on me!”...

The Grim ReaperChapter 12 The Perfect Game

I couldn’t take any more days off that summer. My time with Kelly was restricted to evenings and weekends, which was probably a good thing, at least as regards to my health. Keeping up with her appetite for sin was tiring! She might kill me, but I’d die with a smile on my face. I did speak to Dad about a temporary dock, and he nixed it, at least for this year. “One, it’s not as easy as you think, or as cheap, or as quick. You won’t get it done, at least not done right, until the end of the...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 13 Professional Work

I had a problem with the academy in Athens related to graduation. Specifically, I would graduate with my doctorate mid-May, but the current Basic Law Enforcement class ran from the end of March through mid-July. I couldn’t stay in my apartment after graduating and we couldn’t justify my moving to a new apartment for just a month. I had been keeping Rich caught up with my schedule and plans over at UGA, but as May moved along, it was obvious my time in Athens was ending. Some of my lectures...

The Grim ReaperChapter 4 Matucket Middle School

1996 to 1999 In August, football started up again. Matucket Middle School didn’t have a real football team, only flag football, so I was still playing Pop Warner football. I turned twelve on March 1, so I changed to the Midget League team, the Spartans. At twelve I had jumped over the Junior Midget team, which was ages ten, eleven, and twelve. The Midget team was ages twelve, thirteen, and fourteen, so I could probably play there until I got to high school. I knew Matucket High played real...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 37 Fixing Things

Seamus turned fourteen on May 8. Like every year before then, Kelly and I wondered whether he would live long enough to see another birthday. The eternal question was which one of us would kill him first. On the other hand, he could consistently manage to take my mind off the ongoing crisis in the Matucket Police Department. Over dinner that night he asked, “Dad, a mistress is a girlfriend, right?” I looked across the table at Kelly and she looked as confused as I did. I turned my head...

The Grim ReaperChapter 23 Fourth of the Fourth

September 2003 - December 2003 Dad drove me over to Hartsfield International in Atlanta Thursday morning, sometime around the crack of dawn. Mom stayed at home, which was a good thing, because she spent most of Wednesday night and Thursday morning crying. She was a total basket case, even though I was only going to New York. I didn’t want to be around her when I ended up going overseas. I had to be there early, because I was on a very cheap Delta flight, and you had to be there two hours...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 36 School Days

I went into the station the next morning at 0730. I figured I would go in early and see the shift changes and roll calls for a bit to get a feel for things from the bottom up. After roll call, I headed back to my office, only to get stopped by Mindy Hollis. She dragged me back outside to the department parking lot and over to the corner it shared with the impound yard. “This is where we should build a storage annex,” she said. “Why here? In this corner?” “It’s the best choice. It’s inside...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 29 Summer Fun

2026 to 2027 We spent about a week cleaning up from the remodeling. There was dust on everything, even the ceiling, and everything needed to be wiped down and washed. Dust even got into all the clothing that hadn’t been boxed up and left in the closets, since the closet doors had to be open so the flooring in the closets could be replaced. We were doing wash nonstop for a week, and Custom Clean Dry Cleaning made a small fortune off us when we took all our good clothes over. The most amusing...
