ABC 8 News – Bill Bjournez Junior was passionate about playing his trumpet. The musical notes lift him up when he’s feeling down, and as a longtime trumpet player in the air force band, his instrument was his passport to the world. “To me, this is my ticket, this is the way I got to go to all 50 states in the country, play in 26 different countries. I have no idea how many heads of state I have played for,” says Bill Bjournez Junior.
