Event
Mark Nickerson and John Ford at The Winterport Union Meeting House
THE OLD COPS
John Ford Sr., a native Mainer, comes from a long line of Maine Game Wardens, and his mother rehabilitated wildlife. He was sworn into the Maine Warden Service shortly after finishing up a four-year stint in the U.S. Air Force. He spent all of his twenty-year warden career in Waldo County in central Maine. After retiring in 1990, he was elected as county sheriff and re-elected in 1994. He has written a local newspaper column and is a regular contributor to the Northwoods Sporting Journal. He also is a artist known for his wildlife artwork.
Mark Nickerson originally studied to become a dentist, but the lure of police work was enticing so he followed in the footsteps of his father, Millard E. Nickerson, Director of the Bureau of Criminal Investigations of the Maine State Police, and Mark joined the Maine State Police in 1977, graduating that year from the 34th Maine Criminal Justice Academy. Mark first served in Troop C-Skowhegan and later in Troop D-Thomaston during his 28-year career with the Maine State Police. After retiring, Mark wrote columns about police work for The Citizen in Belfast, Maine and later for the Republican Journal and his stories were later compiled into his book Blue Lights in the Night.
Ford and Nickerson regale audiences in Maine and beyond with their hilarious stories of law enforcement back in the day based on stories from their best-selling books.
