In 1991, Bob and Tiny Buzby were interviewed by writer Kathy Price at their home in Wasilla, for the US Army history of the Homesteads on Fort Wainwright, Alaska. This article is a transcript of the interview, edited slightly for readability.

About this website
This website commemorates the family and descendants of Harry and Louisa Buzby, Alaska pioneers and parents of Bessie, Marian, Jay, Ted, Elt and Bob Buzby. On this site I am attempting to honor the lives and accomplishments of the Buzby family members who have lived, worked and contributed to life in Alaska for more than a century.
My grandmother was Bessie Buzby Spencer, the oldest daughter of Harry and Louisa Buzby. My grandparents lived in Alaska until 1942, when they moved to Seattle. In February 2007 my Aunt Marty, who grew up on the family homestead near Fairbanks, contacted Bob and Tiny Buzby's daughter Alice Sims. Thus Bessie Spencer's family was reunited with the Alaska Buzbys.
To honor my Spencer and Buzby ancestors I created this site. Thanks for visiting the Buzby family website. -- Spencer Bryant
