Gordon Baxter (December 25, 1923 – June 11, 2005), nicknamed Bax, was a well-known Texas radio personality, an author of books, and a columnist for newspapers and magazines. He was a lifelong resident of Southeast Texas, having grown up in Port Arthur where he was born. He lived near Beaumont during most of his professional years and was probably best known locally as a radio heartland humorist in the Jean Shepherd tradition. He was also known nationally to several generations of pilots who read his columns on the joys of flying in the aviation magazine, Flying. His two best-known books set in Southeast Texas are Jenny n’ Dad: The Love Story of a Very Young Daughter and a Very Old Dad and Village Creek.
The cost of the book is $14.99 cash or check only for a copy.
