Autorenporträt
Jeff Berry has been in the US Navy, but he has also Skippered square-rigged sailing ships across the Pacific and around the world. He has flown everything from a homebuilt to a DC-4, without a license. His favorite cars were an extended frame Ford Model A, an Oldsmobile Patrician, Willys Jeepster, and maybe the first VW Bug in America. Jeff was a survivor in the South Pacific before that became a TV show, and now he lives quietly in Olympia, WA, tinkering with an ancient Mac and a much older Ford Model A.
