I can recommend a few if you give them a chance: http://www.thomascenter.org/staff/
Father Peter, Father John and Matt B.
Father Bill at Sacred Heart on Mapleton is also an older priest with a big heart and he radiates joy.
Call/email and set up an appointment to chat with them. You won't be disappointed.

"When I went back to college in 1988 with my 1958-71 public education background, my skill levels and grades far exceeded the majority of 18 y.o.'s coming in then."

I would hope so--you had 17 extra years than them to improve your skills and knowledge.

Like I said, I think the punishment of firing/forcing resignation was necessary, but the whole situation is just sad. I have run into both bad and good cops, and I believe the bad ones would have more than one one other issue come up in 14 years of service. Based on the info, I will choose to give these guys the benefit of the doubt either way and think of them as ignorant hillbillies who made a big mistake (I didn't call it an accident--there were bad decisions that led up to the circumstances), rather than completely crooked cops.

Fair enough. Accused does not mean he did it way back then though. For every crooked cop, there's probably ten cop haters looking for every opportunity to bring these guys down. One accusation in 14 years does not sound like a lot to me. How many times did he risk his life on the job, save lives, deal with drunks, or do traffic duty without complaint? Maybe he was just really good at abusing his power and getting away with it. That's just speculation though. We know he made a big mistake here and that's about it.

This whole story is sad. As a nature lover, I feel bad for the elk and local residents that enjoyed marveling at it. At the same time, I feel bad for these officers and their families for making such a huge mistake that cost them their jobs after 5 and 14 years in the force. They took advantage of their positions in a way that causes animosity and a loss of trust by the people they protect, and therefore I agree with the decision that they needed to leave. However, everyone makes mistakes and if this was their worst, then I don't believe they are the scum that everyone on this board is making them out to be. Hillbillies and ignorant, yes, but I am still hopeful they were good officers and had integrity during most of their time on the force.
