Re: 1960 Harley-Davidson of Macon Delivery Truck
Hey DAC, Mr. Grover was front and center at the Harley Davidson School in 1939. He is a natural born engineer. He built an aircraft carrier sized takeoff pad for Gen. Jimmy Doolittle(Col. then),to practice launching his B-25 Mitchell Bombers. These tests proved that it could barely be done under ideal conditions, but it could be done. Daring! The Tokyo Raid was made possible in part to the work of Mr. Grover and the other engineers and ground pounders. He is a true living legend around here and I am glad to know him and call him a friend. At 90,I would not want to pi$% him off, because he is still very healthy and he even rides his Harley side car rig to the shop, every day. His generation was made out of some tough mettle. They kept us free. We can not thank them enough.
