**Genre:** Memoir
George is the award-winning author of a number one best-selling memoir titled Vector to Destiny – Journey of a Vietnam F-4 Fighter Pilot. He is a retired Air Force and airline pilot. A certified organic farm he started in Wisconsin supplies bedding plants throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. George has been married to his wife, Sandy, for sixty-one years. She retired as a professor at the University of Wisconsin. They have two sons who have degrees from the UW and have served their country.
Vector to Destiny – Journey of a Vietnam F-4 Pilot goes beyond the classic Vietnam war story to give you some insight into what it was like to grow up on a farm with a big dream. George’s journey takes you from farm fields in Wisconsin to the skies over Vietnam in F-4 fighter jets. Share his struggles, failures, and exhilarations as he moves along his path toward a destiny.
His story is filled with riveting accounts of missions flown by a fighter pilot into intense enemy resistance. Along the way, there were indications of divine intervention. The reception upon returning home from the war was less than desirable. Understanding the plight of Vietnam Veterans is a prelude to respecting the contributions of 2.4 million Americans who fought to preserve our freedoms.
