Zane’s Story: In 1969 I was sworn in as a Deputy Sheriff for Stanislaus County California and spent the first two years of my career working in the men’s jail. In 1971 I saw and fell head over heels in love with Sandee, although she had no idea who I was.
In 1987 I returned to the men’s jail as Sheriff’s Lieutenant to command that facility. I was the first Lt. Clark there.
In 1989 Sandee came to the men’s jail from the women’s facility as Sergeant and the first woman to break the “cross sex supervisions” wall.
In 1992 I was transferred to another division which enabled us to marry. Sandee was promoted to Lieutenant and in 2002 became the first woman and second Lt. Clark to command the men’s jail.
Part II tomorrow.
OMG, precious, Sandee. What an illustrious life you and Zane have had. So grateful to you, for sharing these snippets from back in time.
Wishing you both so much love, well being, peace, ease and joy always.
I love you. ♥
I wouldn’t trade a thing. It was a wonderful career and Zane is the love of my life. Love and hugs. 🙂
Both Seymour and I are applauding!
Thank you for that, Mike. My best to you both. 🙂
WOWZERS…….that’s some background – love the story – some things were meant to be!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy

LOVE THIS…WHAT A TEAM, PAIR, COUPLE!!!! So impressive, but of course we knew you had done something wonderful, starting at birth!
We have always been a great team and pair. My soulmate. 🙂
Wow! What a great story, I can’t wait to read more. 1971 was the year Ivor and I got married. Sixteen years was a long break in between, but gave you both chance to develop your lives.
Yes it did. We didn’t get together until the mid 90s. It was a wonderful thing. Love and hugs, Jackie. 🙂
Awesome story. Love hearing how the two of you met and hearing about Sandees impressive accomplishments.
I did a few firsts and I’m happy about that. Now women are everywhere. 🙂
Okay, Sandee!! Look at you shattering ceiling blocks! I love this story Zane, looking forward to P2!
I was the first female sergeant to be transferred to the Men’s Jail. 🙂
And now you are handcuffed together forever! What a cool story and such amazing firsts as well.
