This was before the unit moved down the hill to its new digs, back before the unit had a club.

That’s where I met Beemie. He was a crusty old guy with a gravelly voice. He loved to tell lawyer jokes, and since I was the JAG, most of his jokes were aimed in my direction.

Over the next few years I got to like him. Beneath the gruff exterior he was a good guy.

He retired, and I retired, and I lost track of him until I read this post about his death.

Here’s to you, Beemie. I’m sure that you’re up there hoisting a few cool ones, and telling lawyer jokes.
