I was introduced to "Jerry" Campbell in the late 1940s, when I was five or six years old, by my uncle Ray Carpenter who was a Santa Cruz Ca Police Officer. The FBI used to provide firearms training for local police departments back in those days and Campbell was often assigned to provide the training for the SCPD. I have his autograph. I was later reacquainted with Jerry after his retirement when I became an officer for the SCPD in 1967. Campbell was working for the George Cake Company in Oakland CA selling police supplies. He remembered my uncle and the day when he signed my autograph book. It was a real treat for me to see his guns and photos in this thread.
