Tom Kearny & Eva Barnes

     Tom Kearny has spent twenty-three years out of his life working hard as a policeman. He has been stretched to all forms of security such as patrolman, detective, detective sergeant, and traffic division. Tom Kearny was born in Chicago and grew up as a Catholic Irish. He always thought being a policeman was a steady and well paid job. They were hit with the Great Depression and now policeman and firemen weren't even getting paid. He grew up listening to the motto "Don't do anything wrong, Respect for authority." (pg. 265)He is always respectful to people, even people not like himself. He liked the law and people following it but still allowed for people to speak their mind and fight for what they thought was right. He was always working hard at his jobs and never gave up or said 'NO'. He fought hard to do his job well including get beat up in a fight, coming home with bruises as scars of his effort and never made a fuss. He can be an idol to many other men trying hard at what he does. He always kept a chin up to the sky and allowed himself to have an open-mind to everyone.
