Synopsis

"Looking for Trouble" is about the adventures of three brothers who grew up in Northeast Texas, around Greenville, and the exciting times they had then and later in life. As youngsters the George boys were always into something. They rode on steam engines, swiped watermelons, robbed bees, herded cattle, drove tractors, swung in grapevines, and swam with snakes. They survived runaway hayrides, lightning, and first loves. They boated in a horse trough and rigged "Old Blue," the family's 1950 Chevy, so they could shock their friends. All three boys later served as U.S. Air Force officers. Larry specialized in laboratory medicine and computers in the Biomedical Sciences Corps. He and his family later survived Hurricane Katrina. Ronnie was a KC-135 jet tanker pilot who flew combat missions in Southeast Asia and was later a wildlife biologist who roped rattlesnakes and radio-collared mountain lions. Mike was a "Hurricane Hunter" and supersonic T-38 instructor pilot who was flying as an airline captain on the morning of 9/11. The George boys have been looking for trouble all of their lives.
