In 1923, Who Was:

1. President of the largest steel company?

2.. President of the largest gas company?

3. President of the New York stock Exchange?

4 Greatest wheat speculator?

5. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.

Now, 88 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them

The Answers:

However,

In that same year, 1923,

The winner of the worlds most important road race, The Isle of Man T.T.

Stanley Woods.

What became of him?

He

won 10 T.T. Races between 1923 and 1939, He lived on the Isle of Man

and rode motorcycles all his life. He lapped the island circuit at 82

mph in 1957 (The Golden Jubilee) aged 54.  He was a wealthy man when he

died aged 90.

Having had the pleasure and privilge of meeting him, I can also add that he was a true gentleman as well.

The Moral:
