Chief Dan Flynn

Once, a few years ago, I went on a downtown walking tour of Marietta's Civil War Hospitals with Civil War researcher and author Brad Quinlin acting as docent..  On the tour was Dan Flynn, Chief of the Marietta Police.  I told him my father was Chief in the 1950s and he seemed glad to see me.  He told me he was the Chief in Savannah and after that maybe Miami.

A couple years later I saw him and his police entourage at Our Daily Bread luncheon.  I spoke to him but he did not immediately remember me.  I had to relive our Civil War tour and my relation to the Marietta Police, then he remembered.

Can you blame him?   If it makes it better, I didn't recognize him either, without his hat.
