“Buzz” Barron’s Crew Chief, be he ne’er so vile, provides more than a glimpse into what it took to maintain, service, launch, and recover the workhorse of the air war up North. His story is more than just what it was like to be a crew chief; it is about growing up, it is about life. He presents his story with great detail in the vernacular of his native language – Texan! His writing is full of earnest passion, humility, and empathy, sprinkled with subtle humor and some out right passages of out loud laughter. About the Author Buzz grew up in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, called South Oak Cliff, pronounced O'Cliff, in the '50's and early '60's. From there he joined the Air Force, to get away from home, and he certainly accomplished that. He got out after four years, went to college, got married, and has retired from two career's from which he collects a monthly check. He currently lives in Texarkana, Texas where he finished his second career with the American Red Cross, after retiring from five years of retirement, and from thirty years with the Boy Scouts of America. He currently resides with the worlds perfect Girlfriend, the Chairlady, and his surviving pride of cats, two girls, Gracie Ann (MOM Cat) and Sissy Ann (the evil twin).
