Chief Aud Shepherd
and Driving a Straight Shift
Aud Shepherd was the Chief of Police at that time. We called
him Big Aud. He was from the old school. You did what he said and you did it
right, otherwise you were gone. He’d been in law enforcement for about 30 years.
He’s Chief of Police when I started working.
I hadn’t driven a straight shift
car in some time. And, we were around the office one day and he wanted me to
take him somewhere. Straight shifts were all we had at the time. I was real
nervous driving a straight shift and having the Chief with me. So, I went out,
pulled up on Summer Street hill, at the Post Office, and the red light caught
me so I had to sit there. And then when the red light changed you’re on a real
steep hill.
I did fine though.
I didn’t break anything or back in to anybody.
