A Cop's Prison Letters to Cloudcroft: ...Pieces of the Puzzle, and more... Billy Anders

Sixty-three year old police officer to spend a year in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Maximum Security prison!

A pregnant woman was murdered; his deputy sheriff partner and friend shot and killed; a little three year old girl, used as a shield by the assailant, was wounded; the author was ambushed in the dark from four feet away, grazed by a .357 Magnum bullet! Yet he was sentenced to a year in New Mexico's toughest prison... While there he received the overwhelming support of his hometown, the mountain village and resort community of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Receiving as many as 20 letters a day from home and all over the United States, he searches for, and finds, a way to answer them...a newspaper column in his hometown paper, The Mountain Monthly. Read the personal letters that kept him in touch and helped him survive!
