Dale experienced life as automobiles overtook the horse as the common mode of transportation. His farming experience began in southern Illinois, with mules when he was eight years old, and soon moved on to tractors. His fear of the "wild machines" turned to trepidation, then to love and dependence on them. Watch how machinery would shape and define his life. Automobiles were an early passion of his that never waned and were to play an important role in his life. His racing career started with racing wagons in the barn loft and he was still racing cars well into his eighties. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as an aircraft mechanic. He moved with his family to England, France, and Spain, and he learned the language of every country he lived in. Dale always managed to see the humor and human interest in every situation. Hear Dale's stories just as he told them to his friends...
