Also a little thing you said made me feel good, about Ill be out soon and Ill have a good job, thanks. Maybe this will help on my employment, my police record isnt bad, when I was 16 I broke into a store I got a bed in Shelly reform school at 20 years old I had a fight a street fight. I got a $35 fine at 21 I broke into a couple of houses, I got a year, and at 26 I broke into 2 or 3 houses I got this sentence I am now serveing. So as you can see I have a very minor police record compare to some of the men here. I have never had a gun charge. I have never had a hold up charge. I have no dope on my record. I take a pill here to sleep at night one a night for its hard to sleep in the plant worrying about May and parole, and I have no sex on my record. I dont play with children. I have a daughter going on 14 years old, the reason I have none of these things on my record is because I have never did them and dont want to do them.
