Our pastor at a small rural church back in the 50s was a retired President of a seminary. He had PHD from Yale.

One Sunday, he and his wife arrived in a new Chrysler. It turned out their Son was a chief engineer at Chrysler. Maybe 30 years later I saw a program on the History Channel about the M1 Abrams tank and it’s development.

The guy they interviewed was head of the development team and they gave his name as Dr. Phillip Lett. I immediately recognized that he looked just like our old preacher. I phoned Mother and confirmed that Dr. Lett’s Son was named Phillip.

I am pretty sure he was at least in part responsible for the turbine engine which Chrysler developed back then.
