This book encompasses experiences that span almost a century in the
life of Edgar "Buddy" Galvin. From notes and memory, Buddy reflects
on the major highlights and lessons gleaned over that time. His
story illuminates events in his lifetime; from his childhood
growing up in Baltimore Maryland during Prohibition and the Great
Depression, his long lasting affair with music, and his work as a
1st class ship-fitter where he witnessed the launching of the first
Liberty ship the SS Patrick Henry. Buddy relates in an intimate
fashion his experience in the United States Navy as a Long Range
Aerial Navigator. He flew 35 missions aboard B-24 Liberators while
on anti-submarine patrol out of Dunkeswell, England. Buddy also
gives a personal account of his participation in the search for
Flight 19, one of the great aviation mysteries. His life has been
enriched with his travels around the world, family and friends,
civic work, and his continuous commitment with volunteer efforts in
the South Florida community.
