Buzz's Values
See What Buzz is About
My favorite colors are Red, White and Blue.
I have worked for 51 years and America has been good to me.
Now it is time for me to return the favor.
Now it is time for all Americans to return the favor.
My parents Betty Jane and Benny Harrison Kelley taught me well.
In 1959 we were all homesteaders 1.1 miles up Hollywood Road.
Vine was a moose trail and KGB was a double-wide moose trail.
I tell you life in the last frontier was not easy.
It is kind of funny sometimes to hear people complain about this or that. I think to myself, “You don’t know squat.”
From my mom, I learned to be kind and forgiving, even though there was very little forgiveness if Saturday morning chores were not done :) But most importantly from my mom, I learned to seek the Lord’s will for my life. He is orchestrating the long game. We are not able to do that.
From my dad, a union plumber, I learned provision and “Git er done!” There again very little room for lack of performance. When he died at an early age the 160-acre homestead got sold off and that money helped support my mom, my sister, and me.
So what are my default composite values?
Seek the Lord’s will and “Git er done!”
If you believe in freedom. If you believe in equality. If you believe in opportunity and that shining city on the hill named America then join me and join the millions of other Americans who right now are saying, “Let’s roll!”
