When the pandemic hit and everyone was quarantined at home, Paul Palmer contacted Colin Peabody, Chairman of the Coalition of DPS Retirees, and talked over having retirees submit stories about their careers. The original thought was to collect them and then Colin would send them out to retirees in the CDPSR e-mails for our officers to enjoy as they were homebound. It was such a success people began saying the stories should be in a book. The book "That Reminds Me of The Time" was born.
