PESO x2 - From My Archives

[Anthony Farr]

Thanks Christine.  Cops love putting on their 'game faces'.

These shots missed the internet by about a decade, and they've been kicking
around on my hard drive for a few years waiting to be retouched.  I thought
they were due to get some screentime.  When I'm bothered to get the drivers
for my scanner reinstalled I'll take some more occasional trips down memory
lane.

Regards, Anthony
