Woodward Book Club: Wright Brothers Chapter 3

Notes from discussion of next chapter of the Wright Brothers book. It has some links to information about Woodward Ave. and its namesake.

The Woodward Breakfast and Book Club held its fourth meeting on October 14, 2016. I was curious who Woodward Avenue was named for; its namesake sounds like he was a very interesting man: judge, city planner, interested in science and instrumental in founding the University of Michigan. Click on the link to read the biography of Judge Augustus Woodward. Readers from outside Michigan can read about Woodward Avenue and M-1.

Here are the notes from Chapter 3 of our book study of the Wright Brothers biography.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Woodward Dream Cruise. (See picture of a classic Camaro at the GM display above). The epicenter of next year’s Cruise may move to Pontiac; good news for Pontiac!
