I received a letter from the school the other day inquiring what I am up to so I thought I would respond. First off how are all of you? It is weird to say that I miss physics class. Compared to the real world, class was a breeze. I am married now, living north of Baltimore. I have been with the Baltimore County Police Department for 4 years now. Hopefully soon I will leave the patrol life of an officer and go to our "crash team". It is a unit that deals solely with automobile crashes with life threatening injuries or fatalities. They investigate the crash scene and reconstruct the events prior to and after the crash. So far I have taken 2 of the 3 crash investigation courses offered. They go over such things as conservation of energy and linear momentum. It teaches how to calculate speeds of vehicles using the skids marks left behind. Other courses go into the calculation of speed using the energy needed to deform metal in certain areas of a vehicle, Really interesting stuff. Just to let you know the whole physics department prepared me well for this type of investigation. The courses that I have taken have been actually enjoyable because I was able to use the techniques I learned at rmc.
I hope everything is going well down there.

Sincerely,
