That Other Paris

Lindsey Harmon Jr. spent the first 19 years of his life in Paris, Texas and the next four in the US Marine Corps. During his time in the Marines as an infantryman/sergeant he served in a battlefield tested unit in South Vietnam. The following 26 years he was a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. These 26 years he worked as a patrolman, motorcycle officer, 911 center supervisor and retired as a lieutenant in charge of a narcotics interdiction unit whose detectives helped keep the LA area airports as "dope free" as possible. After retirement in 1993 he travelled the seven continents and visited more the 110 of the world's countries. These journeys accounted for more than 7million air miles and countless more on Terra firma. His retirement time has been spent providing housing for Los Angeles County families.
