After, trying several times to get into the lily White Alabama National Guard, I ask to speak to the Adjuant General of Alabama, and this request was granted. After being invited into his office and seated. I said Sir what do I have to do to have an opportunity to serve your and my country. He replied are those your records that you have in your lap Captain? Yes Sir Let have them. I will take them up to the Governor to tomorrow If Governor Wallace tell me to bring you in, you will be in the Alabama National Guard. I thanked him, salute him and left his office. Early the next day he call me and told me I was in the Alabama National Guard, my unit, and when and where to report to drills. After many years of drivig from 350 miles to 450 mile I started fly this distance. Fifteen year in the Guard, I did not miss a single drill, receive better evauation than my White Counter part, promoted to Major without any pass over. ONLY GOD CAN WORK IN OUR LIVES WHAT MAY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO OTHERS. Many of my flights were night flying, especially in the winter time. Before I bought my plane I flew this plane Alabama National Guard. One hrs 55min. from Bristol, Tenn to Birmingham, Ala
