Yesterday online i happened across 2 books on AFRC & was wondering whether anyone has read them? I'm definitely behind the times so they may be old news but were the first i'd heard.
One is titled The Von Steuben by Richard Allen Kapuaala & is based on his experiences working in the kitchen of the Steuben Hotel in the '70s. It's third in a 4-part series.
The other book is titled AFRC: How i spent your Tax dollars on Lift tickets & Beer by Kris Barber. He worked for 9 years as a ski instructor at AFRC and the book got great reviews. Both books came out last year.
So, just curious about them. They sound like great reads.

The book by Kris Barber is very good. Different era than when I was with AFRC, but so many parallels. I recommend it. I am familiar with the other one you mention and I am facebook friends with the author. Have not read it however.

I read *AFRC...* by Kris Barber recently. It covers a period well after my time but encompasses his (rare) several years experience centered in B'gaden. It is a riot for any AFRC veteran and/or lover of skiing. The guy is a natural comic writer. Sort of skiing's P.G. Wodehouse. Must-read for anyone on this message board, I would think.
