Jackie Larry Letney, bucky to those who loved him most, was a 34 year old from Zavala, Texas.

He was a father and had made a living as a trapper.

Sometime in February 1987, seemingly in Boundary, Alaska,

Bucky left where he was living to walk to the store.

He never returned. He was never seen again.

I'm at Denzel and this is un-found.

I'm at Denzel and this is unfound. So, Sometimes when I look out at the Gulf of Mexico at night, especially if a storm is coming in with lightning flashing and the waves turning.

I think of those people who not so long ago chose to go out on the oceans,

sailing in wooden ships, being pushed by cloth sails, and navigating by the stars.

To our 21st century minds, it sounds crazy.

Insane.

Why? Because it was dangerous. And many people did die. Yet people continued to do it anyway. To move up closer to modern times, people set off across North America in wagon trains,

horses for power, wheels made out of wood, and no rest areas to get clean water or something out of the

candy dispenser. Once again to us with our GPS systems and Yeti coolers, insane.

And to move even closer to now, within many of our lifetimes,

the USA went to the moon using a level of engineering that looks like

Legos now.

Yet astronauts still wanted to go.

With today's SpaceX's and Virgin Galactic's pilots be so brave?

Well, in the disappearance of Bucky Lettingy, he moved from the warm and friendly confines of Texas to one of the most

inhospitable and remote areas of the Western Hemisphere, all in an effort to make some money.

Then he was gone.
