Topic: Buz Sawyer


  
  Buz Sawyer
Buz never considered himself to be a goal-oriented person but in reflecting on his life, it is evident there must have been a strong, compelling sense of dedication and purpose to his being.
Buz was killed at the age of 41 in the crash of a C-123 while transporting supplies to the Contras in Nicaragua on October 5, 1986.
One of Buz's heroes was General of the Army Douglas MacArthur and he had a plaque of the general's address to the cadets of the Military Academy at West Point on May 12, 1962.

 The Linfield Review
Sawyer said two officers responded to the complaint, and because of the amount of people at the party, backup was called.
Sawyer explained that if an officer cannot control a personís actions when he is under arrest, the amount of force used can escalate in order to regain control.
Sawyer said he thinks that keeping the parties manageable and quiet will help students stay out of trouble, but he said the police are tightening up because it is their duty to the community.

 Buz Sawyer - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
Sawyer adventured as a bachelor for years before marrying Christy Jameson; and much later Canyon married Summer Olsen.
And finally, although Canyon and Sawyer both long outlasted their creators' stints on their earlier strips, both cartoonists were better known, all their lives, for their pre-war work.
Buz Sawyer pretty much stayed in its original venue — there were no movies, TV shows and only one Big Little Book.
