I have known Rob Bryn ("Freedom from the press," June 9-16) since 1985 when he came to work as an officer and eventually a sergeant at Morro Bay PD. He made the graveyard shift not only bearable, but a pleasure. Intelligent, compassionate, rapier-witted, and a man who knows his stuff - I tell you, if we had an army of Bryn, we could fix the world so much faster. Congratulations on your retirement, my friend.
