We have a wonderfully special sale coming up in Otsego to finish out our 2021 sale year! The treasures and accompanying stories at this home are seemingly endless, with some very rare and unique items being presented to you! Our client has spent most of his life in service to our country in one way or another. He served in the military in the early 1950s, was in Washington D.C. during the Eisenhower inauguration, and has since spent his life involved in the law enforcement and investigation field. The provenance that comes with his treasures is unmatched! We are so honored to be able to work for this family, and we're excited to be presenting this sale to you!
Here is a little background on our client, borrowed from the website www.polygraphis.com:
"A former Special Agent in the United States Air Force Directorate of Special Investigations, Mr L.M. received his polygraph training in 1956 from the Keeler Polygraph Institute and served as its instructor. Internationally recognised for his ability and experience, Mr M. has provided professional polygraph training for hundreds of polygraph examiners. He has been qualified and testified numerous times as an expert witness on Polygraph Methodology and Forensic Polygraph Examinations in various State, Federal and Military Courts since his entry into this professional field in 1956.
Mr L.M. is a Past President and Life Member of both the American Polygraph Association and the Michigan Association of Polygraph Examiners. He is also an Honorary Member of the American Association of Police Polygraphists, as well as various State and Regional Polygraph Associations."
Also from the same website:
"In 1972, representatives of the Southeastern Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police asked Mr L.M., a graduate of, and former instructor at the Keeler Polygraph Institute, to develop an innovative basic polygraph training programme. The first training class was held at the Royal Oak Police Department during the Spring of 1973. Since then, the American Institute has continuously provided professional polygraph examiner basic, advanced and specialised training courses to law enforcement and security and intelligence agencies in the US as well as outside of the US, including Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia."
