Today [Sat Nov 27] I received my monthly issue of the magazine CLASSIC CARS
On page 86 [and 87] is an article about a man who still is alive and living
in Florida [God's waiting room]
His name is Glen Brookbank and the article relates how, in 1929, he began
employment at General Motors at the ripe old age of 16 as a menial
apprentice, working on sheet metal.
And traces his development career thru GM working on buses, taxis and trucks
until he retired, but not until he contributed to the design of the GMC
motorhomes we all love.
And unless you haven' t put it together yet, one of the models was
purportedly named after him.
