The next time I ran into Boomer, I was working in D Hall, which was where Boomer lived. I was working the door post which in this block was right by the desk. Boomer came down to the desk to speak to the sergeant. He had a loud low booming voice. Barry White had nothing on this guy. Standing next to him, I felt like a little guy. I felt like I was standing next to a bear that could take me out with one swipe of his paw. If I had to use one word to describe him at this point, I would say powerful.

Later, I had an opportunity to talk to him. I introduced myself and told him the first time I had seen him was in visiting. He clearly remembered. I told him he seemed angry at that time. He said that he thought we were talking about him and that he didn't like that other officer. I verified to him that we were talking about him; that the officer was filling me in on him. He said that officer had it out for him and made up stuff about him. I told him that I listen to what people tell me, but that I make up my own mind about people and their character. He seemed very cordial and had a good sense of humor. He also had a good sense of himself, oozed confidence and was extremely savvy about people and the goings on in this place.
