Notes from the Green Man tells the true story of a young American airman from the streets of Brooklyn, New York, sent on his first Air Force assignment in the late 1970s to the twin air force bases of RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge in rural Suffolk, England, where he fell in love with a village called Tunstall and a pub called The Green Man. Chuck Dalldorf's memoir is a long overdue love letter to a special place and the people who welcomed him.
After growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Chuck Dalldorf traded beer and subways for English bitters and a Peugeot bike. He spent the majority of his active-duty Air Force service as an aircraft fuel systems mechanic at the Twin Bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England. Later, Chuck worked most of his professional life in various staff positions in the California State Legislature, including work for three Sacramento mayors. Today, he lives quietly and happily with his wife, Lindsey, in western Sonoma County.
