Stand by!

Description:

The complete title is "Stand By!": From Fighter Jets to Fine Art... A Life's Journey. A memoir beginning with the author's earliest memories growing up near the McKenzie River in Oregon, Larry Evans chronicles the events that made him who he is today. He expresses his search for meaning in foreign lands, and his exhilaration as a newly minted U.S. Marine learning to conquer the skies. Through detailed prose, he describes the Vietnam War through the eyes of a fighter pilot. Today Larry has found his place in the world - as an art dealer, husband, father and grandfather. His journey to that place is a tale worth recounting.
