Abstract
My father, Chester S. Wright, was a business executive. He was president of two manufacturing companies and a member of the board of directors of four others. As a young boy, I remember him coming home from work in a big, black Chrysler Imperial—a “company car”—fitted out with shining chromium bumpers and gleaming radiator grill. After a wonderful home-cooked dinner my mother always made for my father, my two sisters, and me, he and I would head out in the Imperial to Gray’s Drug Store so he could buy House of Windsor cigars, and we could pick up the latest copies of Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, and Mechanix Illustrated.
