On the road, I meet so many incredible people and I wish I could interview every single one of them and post it here to share with each of you. Unfortunately most of them see me coming and they evade me before I can corral them into doing a video with me. At Thelma and Louise Point, the famous site where the last scene of that iconic movie was filmed, I trap Punkin on a cliff.
Punkin is one of the first female Kentucky State Troopers and is now enjoying a fun filled retirement. Instead of using her considerable skills to subdue me and effect her escape, she chooses to negotiate her way out of this dangerous situation. She agrees (against her better judgement I am sure) to talk with me 🙂 For those of you who are fans of Jim Brown, he is kind enough to star in a cameo role in this video!
Sunny Interviews One of the First Female Kentucky State Troopers
We’re so glad we’ve met you both, and your spouses. Happy and safe trails to ya’ll. Hope we run into you again soon. You too Jim.
Thanks – we feel the same way about you guys. Hope we all cross paths again real soon!
The people we meet on the road are really a wonderful part of the full time RV experience! So glad to have made new friends here in Moab and can’t wait to see you again! Thanks for interviewing me!!
You are terrific and I thank you for allowing me to interview you. As you requested, I will mention here that there were 3 women in your graduating class, but you will always be Trooper number 1 to me!
WOW, what a great lady, she broke the ground for many more to follow her. Thank her for her service from the Dukemans and we are so glad to see her enjoying her retirement like you guys are. We met some great folks but never anyone of that stature, what a gal. God bless her. And you all too. GOD BLESS

Well you guys are certainly in the group of amazing folks with Punkin. I will pass along your thanks to her!
Punkin is NOT the first female Kentucky State Trooper! Sandy Schoneker (now Sandy Taylor) was the first female Kentucky State trooper!? I should know, I’m her son and I was there when she completed her training and was sworn in at Frankfort.
Brian – thanks for your comment. Please see my website disclaimer page for a better understanding of the nature of this website. More than likely Punkin told me that she was one of the first troopers and I embellished the story for my friends. That being said, congratulations to your Mom for her accomplishments – you should definitely be proud of her! Thanks to all law enforcement officers for their dedicated service.
First and importantly, thank you Punkin Webb Arnett for your service.
I believe there’s been a mistake with information. My mother in law, Sandy Taylor(formerly Schonecker) holds the honor of first KSP female trooper. She was sworn in 1978.

Thank your for your time.
