It was all innocent fun…and the boys were doing their job. But I never got over the girls in our crew. Some would actually hang around instead of running because they thought some of the cops where hot. Brian Waters always seemed to draw the biggest crowd. Again….all innocent…but it sucked when one of the girls you were eyeballing turned out to be a cop groupie!!
