Buzzard's Myth: Adventures of a Free Spirit from Egg to Infinity PhD Alva Harris

Nothing short of raging adventure and experimentation could stop young Alva Harris. Or older Alva Harris. Or Coast Guardsman Alva Harris. Or even Professor Alva Harris. A native of the North Carolina Coast, which he still calls home, he chronicles the wonders of these wetlands and small towns, and even a few decades fighting the seas of the Pacific in the Coast Guard and as a salmon fisherman. Alva's very nature is "adventure," and he lives it to the fullest. Starting with his youth as a Depression-era child in Hyde County, NC, he rekindles those memories, teaches some history lessons about hunting, fishing, shrimping, and the whole new world of * gasp * electricity. He holds our hands through seven decades of fun, fear, and what some might call sheer luck! As you walk into the vivid tales herein, you will enter a rabbit hole, one that is guaranteed to inspire you, inform you, and dance with you. And you'll even figure out what BUZZARD'S MYTH means.
