The Early Years By

The Early Years By Michael Barron The idea for the County Blues began in the winter of 1984. Nat Gutierrez, a deputy I worked with at the Harris County Sheriff’s Dept., approached me one Sunday and said the newly formed Harris County Deputy Sheriff’s Union need someone to write a newsletter for their members. And there’s money involved and would I be interested. Now anyone who knew me at the time, knew I was all about owning my own business as opposed to working extra jobs. My best friend John King and I had just opened one the first video rental stores in Houston, and I even created the first drive-up video store in an old Fox Photo booth in Humble. (You younger cops, ask your parents what a Fox Photo Booth was.) The idea of an extra job that didn’t involve sitting in a bank on my day off certainly intrigued me.

Why is that Nat? “Well because we’re using THEIR name.” Uh Huh. I have a better idea, how about we start our own publication, publish all the Union news inside of it for a fee, and we keep 100% of the money. “Hmm, I’m not sure they will like that,” says Nat. Or we can just not include any Union news and do our own thing. “Ok well I’m sure they will agree to something or another.” Nat Gutierrez Jr. The Blues 40th Anniversary Issue 83
