Graphic courtesy of: Fred A. Stein 12th and 16th Tactical Reconnaissance Sq. Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Saigon, Vietnam Reno’s handler, Andy Stein, is the son of Tan Son Nhut Association Member, Fred Stein. My wife and I will be grandparents for the 2nd time in a few weeks. Both our sons are law enforcement officers; the oldest son is in Grand Forks, North Dakota; the younger son is near us in "Spam Town" / Austin, MN, home of the Hormel Co. Son Andrew, was a Security Policeman in The USAF for six years, as a K9 handler. He has a working dog also, with the Grand Forks Police Department My second son, Kristoffer, followed his older brother's footsteps and become a policeman also. Andrew and Reno trained for four months with the Canadian K9 Unit. Reno is trained to locate drugs, is a tracker, and he is trained in apprehension / "bite-dog". I have done ride-along's with both sons several times; quite a "hoot" to observe them deal with the "bad guy's" and with the general public. |
