In 1971, a young man, fresh out of the Marine Corps and working his way through college, joined the housekeeping staff at the University of Maryland,
Baltimore. He worked mopping floors in Whitehurst Hall, an old nursing
dormitory that once stood where the University of Maryland Medical Center’s emergency room stands today; he cleaned the restrooms in the Bressler Building, not the one typically recognized nowadays on Baltimore Street, but another that currently still exists along Greene Street behind the School of Social Work; but it was one night while cleaning in Howard Hall—then an administrative building that housed the human resources and personnel
offices—that he noticed a flyer posted on a bulletin board: “Campus Police Vacancy.” “Why not?” recalled the young housekeeper. “I have nothing to lose.”
