[@ferdonandebull]

I was a copper for a lot of years. This was in the old revolver years when we still carried in swivel holsters and jordon holsters. We had a guy that could drop a glass from shoulder hight then draw and break the glass. But the hat story is the best story. I was a young copper and two of the guys were talking about their shooting. On of the guys said that he could hit a hat that was thrown in the air six times. We wore the campaign hats at the time. This was in the summer so we were wearing straw hats. Anyway this was night shift and they kept this up trying to get me to throw my hat. I told them there was no way a man could hit a hat thrown in the air six times even with the double action smiths we carried. They bet me twenty dollars that this copper could do it. “He can hit your hat anytime he wants.” So I picked up a hat and we went out into the gravel parking lot that had good light. The officer got into his gunfighter stance. His buddy took the hat and flung it. But instead of up he just threw it out into the parking lot and the gunfighter ran up and executed the hat. Six times. I said, “you didn’t hit it in the air!” They were laughing the “gunfighter” said “I told you I could hit your hat six times if it was thrown.” I held out my hand, “yeah you didn’t get it done where is my money?” He laughed, “the hat has six holes in it!” I said, “yeah.. it isn’t my hat it is yours.” His buddy thought it was so funny he paid me..

This is so... relatable. Not the gun shooting, but the underlying emotions. It speaks to your soul and it poses a good question: Would you rather live safely in obscurity and suffer being underestimated forever, or do you reveal your talent, restore your pride and suffer the danger of popularity? Both options have a good and a bad side. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'd be lying if I said I never felt this way at my place of work...

Like most young boys in the 1950s and '60s, I enjoyed all Glenn Ford's.good guy roles. His chilling potrayal of the gang leader in "3:10 to Yuma" was as startling to us then as Henry Fonda's role in Once Upon A Time In The West was to us as adults. Ford was the #1 box office in 1958 and among the top 25 for 10 consecutive years. He also excelled in comedies. I think of him as the Harrison Ford of that period.
