My name is BARNEY but ~ I'm NO dinosaur! 
William Clifford Barney grew up in Idaho in the 1940s and 1950s. After graduation from Wallace High School he went east to attend the United States Naval Academy. When he arrived in Annapolis, Maryland in the summer of 1959, he joined 1200 other young men eager to train for a Navy career. Four long, hard years later, in June of 1963, he was one of the 876 graduates. Cliff then began training for service in the Naval Air Force as a pilot, flying carrier-based aircraft. He continued his education, taught, travelled the world and fulfilled three tours of duty in Viet Nam during the Conflict. He retired after thirty plus years as a Navy Captain.
