  Myer v. Rygg, 2001 ND 123, 630 N.W.2d 62
The Myers' attorney objected to the police officer's testimony, noting he was not listed as an expert witness and asserting he was not competent to render an expert opinion concerning the speed of the motorcycle because he was not an accident reconstructionist and had not done the calculations to determine speed.
[¶9] The Myers argue the trial court abused its discretion by allowing the investigating police officer to testify excessive speed of the motorcycle was a contributing factor in the collision because the police officer was not properly qualified.
The Myers had the opportunity to question the police officer and objected to the trial court allowing him to answer the question whether excessive speed of the motorcycle was a contributing factor in the collision.

Fort Myer is now the garrison home of a couple of cavalry troops that have seen bitter fighting on the frontier, and have been placed in this, one of the pleasantest posts in the country, as a sort of reward for their hard knocks in their country's service.
Photographs of Fort Myer during this period show evidence of Victorian landscaping around the Officers' quarters, open parade grounds, street improvements, and the general urban feeling of the Fort (see Figure 21).
The equestrian training area at Fort Myer is no longer visible, but the continued commitment to cavalry training in the 1920s and 1930s kept the area south of today's Summerall Field an open and free of development.

Gestures like the one in which a child runs to an adult who lifts and swings the child up in her or his arms did little to move the piece beyond the nostalgia and sentimentality of the music that accompanied it, which included the early ’60s pop song “Blue Velvet” and country and western songs.
