 A
Veteran’s Day Tribute:
Having recently retired from her “second”

the Navy. “I’d go back in a minute if they would
have me.” The youthful and very attractive seventy-year
old reflects upon the decade she spent as a Registered Nurse
in the US Navy, retiring as Lt. Commander.

Brown: The Man Behind The Wheel

his fellowman, Mack Brown agreed to talk with us recently
about his life, his love for God, family and friends, and
of course, his fascination with the automobile industry.
