Cops, Crooks and other Crazies
When George Clifton Nuttall was born in 1930, nearly everyone in his large family, of more than 60 members, expected him to grow up to be a San Diego firefighter. After all, his grandfather was Fire Department Battalion Chief John Andrew Wood, and his father was Captain George Patrick Nuttall.  By the time he was 19, George had decided he wanted to be a California Highway Patrol officer.  Achieving that goal in 1954 after two years on the San Diego Police Department, he worked his way up to sergeant, lieutenant and captain.  Even after retirement, George couldn't give up police work. He and his former San Diego partner joined forces for an exhaustive investigation of the unsolved D.B. Cooper skyjacking case.
