I met Mike Patterson today in Jefferson City MO. It was a neat meeting, Lt Rice gave Patterson his original license plate (632-HP) that was on this SSP. Lots of Troopers came out of the Headquarters building to check out Pattersons car.
Patterson won't be home til next week so he asked me to go ahead and post some photos. Enjoy! Rice giving Patterson his license plate  Lt Rice with his former car  Troopers checking it out  Patterson in front of Headquarters

Eric - Thanks for posting up some of the pics you took Friday. It was really nice meeting you, you son and father as well as Jim....really appreciate you making the trip into Jeff City.
A lot of different things were going on all at once so it was nice to have someone else helping with photos. You really take some nice photos. Running on empty after leaving my parents home in Missouri at 2:15am. Need to head back to the office tomorrow and Friday for some out of town guests visiting but taking Monday and Tuesday as vacation. Lt. Rice presenting me one of his old SSP Mustang license plates was a real nice suprise. He mentioned it was hanging in his office and that he had another one at home but hadn't been able to find it as yet but he's going to keep that one as a momento. The plate he presented was the one from his office and he asked me to promise that if I ever sell the car to send him his plate back. Seems to have been a gesture to recognize the transformation this SSP has taken over the past 2 years. He was real generous with his time (spent about an hour with us) and I don't think that I could have asked any more from him. He signed the underside of my trunk lid with a sharpie and was nice enough to sign a number of other things for me as well. Over the next couple of days I'll post a few of the pics my father and I took (including 1 with Lt. Rice posing in front of his signature under the deck lid) from our trip and scan the items that he signed. I provided Lt. Rice a framed print with 6 different photos of his old SSP Mustang showing the progression from MSHP in-service back in 93-95; to its time as a DARE car with Cottleville; what it looked like when I purchased it; as well as how it looks today. He seemed genuinely appreciative and suspect it will get displayed in his office. I'll scan and post that print up on my Fotki site in the next couple days too. Thanks again...good times  !
