I always wore a Helmet.

The picture shows me, back in the late 60s reporting traffic from I-17 here in Phoenix for KOOL Radio.

That’s not the reason for showing the picture.   It was to let you see the helmet worn by the Arizona Highway Patrol officer behind me.

As a member of the Highway Patrol Reserve, I found that I liked wearing a helmet, just like the one he has, when I was driving a patrol car.     While it’s no where as “KOOL” looking as a Shoei RF-1100, I felt just a little safer when I patrolled in and just outside of the Metro Phoenix area.
