FROM MORO TO BLUFF CREEK: An Autobiography
Except for stints as a US Army Airborne Ranger in the jungles of Viet Nam and academia at the University of Texas, the author’s life remained intertwined within the historical communities of Moro and Bluff Creek, Texas, with their occupants who came for that American dream following the tumultuous aftermath of America’s Civil War. In this melting pot of family and neighbors, the author grew up and was drafted into the US Army, received an advanced engineering degree, farmed and ranched, designed infrastructure as a professional engineer, became a firefighter and medic, flew planes, played the piano, practiced archaeology, fought the proposed location of a 345 KV transmission line, and successfully raised a family . . . all the while observing from within . . . this once utopian community of Moro, Texas, slowly morph into oblivion. The author analyzes his choices in life among circumstances . . . Was it free choice or simply a reaction to the witches’ brew served, or was it a horse that suddenly appeared and must be ridden?
