THE NEW YORK SECOND

  The famous New York Second memo shows how Sheriff Hendry solved a personnel problem in 1975. Doug didn't even allow them the famous New York Minute--a second was enough.

 Dave Johnson says: I remember the day the NY Memo came out. Everybody messed their drawers. Those were the days when Doug could still manage to make the earth tremble. Not one bit of grumbling was heard after that memo. Not even whispers. All those that were griping shut the hell up and stayed out of Doug's line of sight.

  The phrase New York Minute originated in Texas where folks said life was so fast paced in New York that they do in a instant what a Texan would take a whole minute to do.
