Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
After serving on the mighty USS Midway, then thirty years on "The Job," a sailor/police officer has many great stories to tell. Especially if those three decades were spent on the mean streets of New York, during some of the city's most turbulent times. A Korean War veteran and retired New York City police lieutenant, Jim Cocalas has a ton of compelling tales to share: funny, heartbreaking, informative, and thought-provoking. I Was Growed Up Lucky is a deeply personal memoir of a life lived joyfully and gratefully, despite devastating personal tragedies, including the losses of two infant sons and the passing of a beloved wife. Delivered in a casual, conversational tone, Jim tells his compelling stories of life-and-death situations, humorous antics, corruption in high places and, sometimes brutal, human drama, all showing what it's really like to serve as a police officer. In a culture that tends to see cops as robotic superheroes or trigger-happy vigilantes, this book reveals the vulnerable humanity of one policeman, whose true desire was to protect and serve . . . and the personal price he paid for doing so.
