Small Town Policing and Small Businesses by James Pate Williams, Jr. BA, BS, MSwE, PhD

I just garnered official word that I am a persona non grata at yet one more business in LaGrange, Georgia. The title of the following reproduced email was “Thank You for the Advance Intelligence”:

Dear Chief of the LaGrange Police Department Lou Dekmar,
I just received a courtesy in person chat from Detective Slonaker (sp?) who was in uniform today helping with the patrol of our city streets.  It is readily apparent that I have a new business that does not like my presence and business. That new establishment is Dixie Donuts on Layette Square. I will add that place to my persona non grata list:
  1. Dixie Donuts on Lafayette Square
  2. Gus’s Grill on Greenville Street across from the Troup County Government Building
  3. Waffle House #2223 on New Franklin Road
  4.  International House of Pancakes (IHOP)
I will not darken the doors of these companies which don’t strictly abide by the U. S. Constitution.
Thanks,
James Pate Williams, Jr.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
