Thanks!

Had an excellent conversation this evening with the retired assigned Trooper. A hobby friend used a Trooper friend of his to facilitate the connection. He's very excited about my project and looks forward to seeing it when I trailer to KC for next summer MCA show. Ironically he was Zone Sgt. with this SSP covering small town I went to college and he worked that area all the time while I was in college.

I always wondered how the assignment of badge # 666 came about, and now I know, directly from the assigned Trooper . When he entered the academy on March 1,1970, a bulletin board included a list of vacant badge numbers listed in numerical order. Along side each of the numbers, was the name of the respective recruit listed alphabetically. And it just so happened 666 was the badge number assigned to him. It was apparently a rather new number at the time, and the original person who had the number resiged after a couple of years. The Trooper assigned to my MSHP SSP held badge number 666 the longest in patrol history, with 30 years. And yes, having that number (also listed on the license plate) proved to be popular among the public.

Thanks Bob...still have a few details to improve upon and a couple items that ran into during the install, but I am real happy with the progress during two and a half months since purchasing the SSP.
