HI folks -- last night I and the good fortune of going to the Friday night Beavercreek, OH, Cruise-In. There I was happy to see Robert Shinkle, Carolyn Beauregard Shinkle, and their daughter Caroline. For years I worked with Carolyn's father, Dr. Irving Beauregard at the University of Dayton until his passing. Irving was one of my favorite history faculty members -- I always remember him fondly for his dry humor, but more importantly his total commitment to his job as a Professor.
So what we have here are a few photos from last night. Caroline would make her Grandfather proud -- a brilliant and beautiful young woman who recently graduated from MIT and now works at the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C.
You have a great legacy, Irving, if you are listening!
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
