Bob Green was born and raised on the Green Ranch, northeast of Albany, Texas where his pioneer father first settled in 1881. With the exception of his military service in Okinawa during WWII, Green has lived and worked on the Green Ranch all his life. Besides ranching and raising cattle, Green has a consuming interest in Native American lore, military history, history of the American West and local Shackelford County history. His passions extend to wildlife and ecology conservation, as well as music, including playing organ and accordion. Green co-narrated the Fort Griffin Fandangle and played its calliope for 27 years. He was an original Fort Griffin Fandangle cast member and was friends with Robert E. Nail, Jr.
--portions of this sketch were taken from Green's book, Okinawa Odyssey
