Without this man, there would be no Cummins.

I found this to be a very interesting article.

This was a man with many ideas, kinda reminds me of myself.

It was a little hard to read having to keep looking around your big head.
Seriously, thanks for posting it. I did not know very much about the guy.
Can you imagine in 1930 having 4 cent a gallon fuel?
I had never heard of him running in Indianapolis and that near death experience with the train was hilarious.
