re Michigan Wheel, a propeller company, & founder Charles Evenson (& Butterball Farms)

Fun fact: I knew the founder, Charles Evenson, when he was a retired elderly gentleman,  because when I was a student at Calvin College I worked for him as a personal assistant. I would drive him & his wife to various country clubs & restaurants & dine with them etc. 

At the time I knew he was the founder of Michigan Wheel, but didn't realize until years later that it was located right next to my late grandfather's butter factory, Butterball Farms and that they probably knew each other. Small world.
