      Those who knew Norman's family when he was growing up may have been pu z z l ed if they heard him referred to as Norman. When Norman was about s i x y ea rs old he was going out the back door of their home with his bro th er s Jac k and Mark one day during the era of Barney Google, the comi c st ri p chara cter who wore a long billed cap similar to a baseball cap .
      Mark grabbed such a cap off of a nail by the door and slapped it on No r m a n's head and told him he looked like Barney Google. Norman replie d h e w as n't Barney Google and from that time forward the family calle d hi m Bar ne y to the day of his death.
      Origin of story related to Norman's son Richard by Mark, Norman's brot h e r.

      During World War II Norman was stationed for a time at the US Air B a s e a t Natal, Brazil. As is typical with all military operations ther e w a s rou tine training for all personnel.
      Norman was a radio operator and was assigned to a training mission o n e d a y on a flight over the Brazilian jungle. There were mechanical pr ob lem s d uring the flight and the plane crashed in the jungle. Norman w a s th e onl y survivor.
      Norman never talked about the war with his family as was true with m a n y W orld War Two veterans. The first we learned of this event was a t No rm an' s funeral from one of Norman's friends,Wayne Holbrook.
