Hey Kelly P, your in the book!

I know this is not the place to post this but I know Kelly would be checking up on this thread.

Not sure if you know your name is in this book or not?

Does Bill Callies ring a bell?

I am reading a book written by him called "They Used To Call Us Game Wardens Volume 2

In the chapter the Warden had just caught 3 guys in a pickup at night poaching a Doe.

On page 181 Near the bottom of the page it says: About that time Kelly Petrowske came by headed for Kelliher. He stopped and asked, "Whats going on?" There's more but get the book!

Then on the next page 182 about the middle of the page it says: "The next morning Kelly Petrowske awakened me. He was headed south on Highway 72 and he was curious about the evening before. He spied a little dead deer on the west side of the road"

So anyway great book and it looks like you had a hand in tying up the case by finding the deer. Does this bring back any old memories? I'm thinking it may have been around the 70's? Did you know you were in his book?

When I saw the title of this thread I was a little concerned what book I was in.

Yes I remember Bill Callies well. He was a great person. I was a young kid in school that thought he was smarter then everybody else. Bill and I had many serious conversations where I learned that I was not that smart. He would point his finger at you, look you straight in the eye and make you promise to never do that again. Back then the 'Warden" lived here in Waskish and was a big part of the community. We all dreaded coming home and our parents telling us, "Bill was here to see us today". He didn't write tickets to us kids very often. Instead he would make us promise not to do it again and sentence us to some type punishment. Maybe shovel some elderly person's sidewalk all winter or mow their lawn all summer. A friend had to go see Bill once and for a long time Bill read the law book to him. When Bill got done reading he told my friend, "This time I read the book to you. Next time I'll throw it at you!"

I have read all his books as well. He seemed a like he know the laws very well and did all he could within the law to make sure those that broke the laws paid for it. If anyone wants to read some good history on Red Lake fishing and the area around there back in the 70's they are good books to learn a few things. There is no way I would do things that he did, like pull over a car out in the middle of no where in the middle of the night. Way back off the highway in the woods with 4 guys in it. He would just jump out of his car run up open their door and grab their keys out! You talk about people putting their life on the line for a job!
