JACQUELINE SIMPER, PRESIDENT & CENTRAL POLICE On a recent visit to Central, I shared with Jacqueline my idea of featuring her on the first of our Three-Part Anniversary Issues. I have to admit I think she was a little hesitate about having her picture splashed across the cover of a 40- year old police magazine. But as I explained my reasoning for wanting to honor her father and the more than fifty-year history of Central Police Supply, she agreed to do it. I actually met Jacqueline and her older sister back in the day when they were just kids, visiting their father at his ‘extra’ job. On one of the many days I was hanging out at Central, Ray says “I’ll be right back” and God only knows where he went. But I looked up and it was just me and his two daughters. Jackie says, what can we do Mr. Mike. I tell you what you two can do. I’ll give you each if ya’ll straighten up this messy desk of your dads. Jackie snatches the money from me and starts organizing and shuffling papers. Her older sister then takes the money away from her and tells me “she’s too young to have money!” About that time Ray walks back in and about has a heart attack when he sees his desk all organized. I’m not sure, but I don’t think he had even seen the top of that desk for years. He freaked the hell out. What did ya’ll do girls. And Jackie says “Mr Mike paid us each to clean your desk. Did we do a good job?” “Uh, I think I have someplace to be, I gotta go.” I don’t know if he was more upset I gave them money or the fact his desk was actually organized (somewhat) and now he had no idea where anything was. When I told Jackie this story, she had no recollection of it but said “I think my sister owes me .” More like o with 35 years interest, I said. 80 The BLUES 80 The BLUES
