Larry Driskill flew U-2 planes in Vietnam, made reports to the joint chiefs at the Pentagon as an Air Force colonel, and eventually became an entrepreneur.
Now he is serving as the president of the West Texas Home Builder’s Association.
Driskill, an Amarillo native, said the former Reese Air Force Base is what brought him to the Hub City.
When he retired from the military in the early 1990s, Driskill said he wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself and thought he needed to get a job.
