Back in 1974, after graduating from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Police academy, I was one of three young Officers assigned to undercover work in the Vice squad. To celebrate the occasion, I bought myself a brand new pair of Dan Post boots. I had stopped by my favorite Aunt and Uncles to share the news of my new purchase and to fish for compliments on my boots.
I told my Uncle that with my new boots, I would be able to sneak up on the bad guys. My Uncle broke out laughing and said, “You’re not going to sneak up on anyone - as big as your feet are, those boots will come around the corner a half a block before you do.” He might have been right…
