Buck Owens passed away today

Buck Owens has passed on. I met him when I worked for Beechcraft at Medows Field here in Bakersfield in the mid'80's. He was a class act, and treated everyone he met with respect. That he could remember my name on days that I didnt have my name tag on impressed me, that he asked about the other line rats who werent working, that was amazing. He always had time time to at least say hi and ask how we were doing. Even though I'm not fond of country music, country music and the wolrd lost a real treasure this weekend.

He was a geat one. The good folks of Bakersfield are sorting out what streets to name other CW stars that passed away. Fortunatly for Bakersfield, Buck, his fans and me, He allready has a street named after him and his memorial is built and running. Rest in peace Mister Owens, rest in peace. V/R. CL
