Some things never change . . . from Dale Oestmann
Hi Marianne,
Thanks to you and the rest of the committee for the reunion. You did a wonderful job.
Everything was great, except for the speeding ticket I got Saturday night as I pulled into the parking lot at the Quality Inn. I had forgotten that Sandpoint’s finest zero in on out of state license plates, as the 2 cars ahead of and beside me doing the same speed had 7B plates.
The last speeding ticket I received was also in Sandpoint, in 1965, from Harvey Riffle on Cedar Street. I hope he has retired!

My reply to Dale: Let's see, "One fine reunion weekend, a great visit with old friends, some delectable eats from Hooties-------one traffic ticket from Sandpoint's finest-----priceless.
Use Mastercard!"
Harvey Riffle has long since retired. He's now a Baptist minister on North Boyer. Harvey was almost killed several years ago while investigating an accident on the highway. He was hit by a passing car and went through months of rehabilitation but made it back to the job.

Sorry you got a ticket, Dale. I have colander memory and don't recall the names of Sandpoint's "fuzz" (besides Chief Elliott), but I got stopped more than once on Cedar as I flew through the stop sign at Division headed home. I was always trying to top 80 mph. I'm lucky to be alive and lucky I didn't kill someone else. Whenever I got pulled over, I was told, "If you don't slow down, I'm going to tell your dad." Scary.
