Follow up:  My wife and I did a Zoom with her last week.  She explained in detail how 
she located me using ChatGPT in a step by step process.  I didn't realize until then how 
powerful ChatGPT is.  Maybe a little scary, but the end result was amazing.

I didn't share with her that I actually DID save 2 lives in my 21 years wit the Fort 
Lauderdale PD.  For me, that helped me recover from the one that I COULDN'T help.
