Briner is true forensic scientist

To the editor:

From the family of Dr. Robert Briner, thank you for the tribute to my father. "Doc" has forged positive and productive relationships with all of the law enforcement agencies within the Southeast Missouri region, the state of Missouri, nationally and even internationally. Dr. Bob Briner exemplifies the type of care, desire, effort and quality that we strive to pass down to our own children.

By the way, unlike the incredibly popular TV show "CSI," the men and women of law enforcement forensic sciences are not pin-up models. They are dedicated professionals striving to find the truth in the trace evidence provided.
