You could say that all of her life was preparing Christine “Chris” Buhl-Petron for writing her first book “When Dreams Die: A Plane Crash in 1934.”
From her youngest memories, she was interested in her family’s history.
“I would pull out the Buhl family tree book and look at it when I was a kid,” she said.
She was very interested in the Buhl family history.
“The idea was planted since I was little,” she said.

“This was a story waiting to be written. But it took a long time,” said Chris. . .
