I RECENTLY READ "THE FORDS, AN AMERICAN EPIC," BY PETER COLLIER AND DAVID HOROWITZ.  THE BOOK CHRONICLES THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY FROM HENRY'S FIRST RIDE TO 1987.  MOST OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE COMPANY WERE FAMILY--HENRY'S RELUCTANCE TO TURN RESPONSIBILITY OVER TO HIS SONS AND THE SONS PERSONAL LIFE.  DESPITE ALL OF THAT INTERACTION, THE COMPANY SUCCEEDED IN GROWING, TURNING OUT INEXPENSIVE  CARS.  DURING WWII FORD BUILT THE B-24 BOMBERS AT WILLOW RUN, ONE EVERY 59 MINUTES, A BIG FACTOR IN WINNING THE WAR.  

TODAY FORD IS BUILDING CARS THAT STAND UP TO ANY FOREIGN MAKE IN QUALITY AND DURABILITY, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE FAMILY IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE DAY TO DAY OPERATION.  TODAYS SUCCESS HOWEVER IS DUE TO THE SOLID FOUNDATION OF THE FORD FAMILY.
