Meeting my great aunt at my father's funeral encouraged me to embark on a journey of genealogical and personal discovery. Strawberry Field to Airfield - Journey of An Air Force Chief, tells a story of my America at the time of my birth. Later I begin by telling the beginning of my journey of life from its humble beginnings. I tell about my 80-year long journey and the discoveries along the way and hard lessons learned. It describes the people who would influence me at the forks in the road, pivotal moments, and paths taken throughout my journey. I traveled along life's pathway without the aid of a role model or a father figure. I owe all my successes to my God, my heavenly Creator.
