<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is certainly a big disconnect between the AT&SF claim of the speed record and Mr. Hankey’s view of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there is also a big disconnect between Mr. Hankey’s view of Death Valley Scotty and his public image at the time of the speed run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, when reading the article, I get the impression that Mr. Hankey is mainly trying to debunk Walter Scott. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">It seems pretty obvious, by the details in the piece posted by wanswheel, that Death Valley Scotty was a much beloved and honored hero in the era of the speed record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder when he turned into the person Mr. Hankey describes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
