40th and Last Issue of Gene Hughes' Police Call - Southern California Edition [Source: Gene Hughes, Police Call] From the Editor's Page of Police Call 2003 - Southern California Edition, At age 13, I was living in a foster home. One of my few possessions was a radio, sent to me by a sympathetic uncle in Chicago. I discovered that I could receive the Los Angeles Police Department radio broadcasts – “police calls” as they were referred to. It was the only source of entertainment for a very lonely kid. I used to daydream that someday lots of people would listen and it would be a big hobby, like photography or ham radio, with books and clubs and everything. Some dream huh? Not many people get to see their most precious dream come true. I did! And with it there was a thing called Police Call so I could share information with other hobbyists here in Southern California. In what seemed like no time at all, there were Police Call books for the whole country. But even in it's peak year, when almost half a million people bought the national edition volumes, it was the Southern California Edition, it's readers and SCMA that have been closest to my heart. You've probably guessed, by now, that this is the last Southern California Edition of Police Call. I'm grateful to each and every one of you for the support that has made these 40 wonderful years possible. Thanks a million!
