Quote:So I'd always been told that my grandma's brother worked for Chrysler as a big-wig back then. I was doing some digging and actually found some NYT articles from January 1975 where he was mentioned. He was VP for automotive sales and helped create a rebate program for people to use when purchasing a car. It's a neat story.

Almost as neat as my grandma's other story, where she went to see him at work, admiring his nice office, checking out his University Of Illinois degree on the wall. Mom told me grandma's next words were "Rodney, you've never been to college or Illinois"
