They didn't narrow it down very much, but at least included the part of northern California where I grew up as one of the most likely places I am from--as well as Joliet, Cleveland and Baltimore...
Got a phone call from a nice police officer in AZ, doing a background check on my baby brother who's applied to be a police officer for the Federal Reserve. I did ask what they needed police for--he said it's campus police. Was a fun and interesting hour, and I think the Fed now knows more about my brother than he might want.
Howard's ma boy!
