Masten Gregory was one of my boyhood heroes.
My first choice for a profession would have been railroad engineer --
big locomotive, hand on the throttle, peering out the window etc etc.
As a freshman in high school I did a research paper on that and found
that you had to have 20/20 vision without glasses. Well, I had glasses.
However, Road & Track had just started publishing, and I sometimes saw a
copy, and lo and behold, here was a genuine race car driver, a GOOD one
at that, who wore glasses.......
R.I.P., Masten.
