Today I visited the Texas Natural History Museum in Austin Tx. They have a exhibit dedicated to the Texas Motorcycle Highway Patrol that i found very interesting. They even have a bike like the one you are on and the same uniform you have on display. After returning home and sharing with my grandmother about the museum , she informed me that one of our family members had served on the force in the 1930's and gave me your name. Thank you Patrolman Fischer for your service and thank you TXDPS for a small peep into my family's history!
