I have done research on the Trump family, which is of German origin; and of which the family name was originally Drumpf but was changed to Trump during the Thirty Years War in Germany.
The Trump family’s immigrant ancestors, Frederick Trump, who was born in 1869 in Kallstadt, Bavaria, Germany to Christian Johannes Trump and Katharina Kober; and Elizabeth Christ-Trump, who was also born in Kallstadt, Germany in 1880 to Philipp Christ and Marie Christ; had both immigrated to the United States in 1885.
There’s also a variation of the last name called Van Trump. One famous person whose last name is Van Trump is Philemon Beecher Van Trump (also known as P.B Van Trump), a mountaineer who, in his native Washington State; has a State Park, a Glacier; and a Creek, all named after him.
The smartest member of the Trump family, is the evil Donald Trump’s lesser-known uncle; by the name of John G. Trump, an electrical engineer, scientist; and physicist; who had been awarded a National Medal of Science by President Ronald Reagan in 1983.
It was John Trump who had developed rotational radiation therapy.
John Trump had originally planned on following his parents into the Real Estate business, and was business partners with the evil Donald Trump’s father Fred; and the brothers tried working together building houses, but John was a perfectionist who found it hard to compromise on his designs and accept commercial deadlines.
So John Trump had pursued a career as an Electrical Engineer, had received his Undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now the New York University Tandon School of Engineering) in 1929; and had received his Graduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1933.
From 1936 to 1973, John Trump had worked as a teaching professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
John Trump had passed away in February, 1985; and if John Trump were alive today, he would likely vote for Hillary Clinton in lieu of his dim-witted nephew during the 2016 United States Presidential Election.
A Blue Bird conventional on one of my favorite chassis & cowl-the Ford B-Series with a Spicer 5-speed manual transmission, and I do not know which engine this bus has; except for the fact that it is a diesel engine.
That could mean that it has either the Cummins B-platform, Cummins C-platform, Caterpillar 3028; or the Brazilian-built New Holland 6.6 or 7.8 liter diesel engines.

Alongside Centurion Industries building Broncos modified into a Suburban-type vehicle on an F-350 Dual Rear Wheel chassis, as van conversions were Centurion’s core business, and as Centurion was a longtime business associate of the Ford Motor Company; Centurion had built a handful of Econoline van conversions in the Dual Rear Wheel setup.
Centurion would take a standard Econoline 1-ton Single Rear Wheel cargo van with the van converter package, remove the wheels, brakes, suspension, and front and rear axles; and then install from a chassis & cab/cutaway model Econoline-the Dual Rear Wheel front and rear axles, brakes, suspension, wheels; and also install custom dually fenders above the newly-installed dual rear wheels.
Then, once the Econoline cargo van had been converted to the Dual Rear Wheel setup; the van would go through the usual conversion process of cutting out the holes in the side of the van to install the aftermarket RV windows, installing the aftermarket interior, installing all of the aftermarket exterior accessories such as running boards and aftermarket bumpers; and finally, giving the van it’s custom aftermarket paint job.
The conversion van pictured below with not only a Dual Rear Wheel setup, but also a Quigley 4-wheel-drive conversion could have very well been built by Centurion.
A van like this that Centurion would build with a Dual Rear Wheel setup is something that we consider when buying our Centurion Bronco on an F-350 Dual Rear Wheel chassis in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”.
This bus was the very last of it’s kind to be produced, as Navistar had just purchased Ward/AmTran this year, GM was changing over to the GMT530-basec chassis & cowl; and had inked a deal with Blue Bird to be the one and only user of the GMT530 chassis & cowl and would forfeit the chance of the GMT530 chassis & cowl being used by competitors such as Thomas, Carpenter; and Wayne.

A result of the brilliant Research and Development department of General Motors.
It is very nice to see that the project manager of the Electrovan (a Chevrolet SportVan/GMC Handi-Van converted to run on Fuel Cells) is still alive at the age of 91, by the name of Floyd Wyczalek.
The year 1966 brought the TV debuts of “Batman” and “Star Trek,” which both enjoy a cultlike following 50 years later. With less fanfare in the same season, General Motors tested the Electrovan, the world’s first hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle.
I had once written a post about the PBS television program MotorWeek, and I have stated that personalities Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas are not my cup of tea.
I still feel that it is such a shame that John Davis would hire scoundrel young men like Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas to serve as staff members and on-camera personalities of MotorWeek.
These 3 young men are not adherent to this being one of many television programs that helped save Maryland Public Television and the PBS television network as a whole, the other being Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser (of which John Davis had served as a producer for several years upon his hiring by Maryland Public Television), and is the result of Maryland Public Television brass wanting to see what John Davis could produce on his own rather than being forevermore dependent on Wall Street Week.
See this earlier post regarding John Davis’s employment at Maryland Public Television:
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas should also be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
I also do not like Greg Carloss constantly changing his hairstyle, including him, at one time; having wore a ridiculous Undercut haircut. And I don’t like Patrick Lucas wearing a ridiculous Undercut haircut.
Personally, I prefer people from John Davis and Pat Goss’s generation over people from Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas’s generation.
Greg Carloss having to purchase and graze on a snack food with a fake Spanish trade name of ‘Cheetos’, a snack food derived from a tortilla chip that is not my cup of tea.
Zach Maskell doing something imbecilic with a technology that includes a camera integrated in the front of the vehicle on a Mercedes-Benz W222. This is sarcastically wonderful with him acting sophomoric next to a GMT360 Chevrolet TrailBlazer owned and operated by Maryland Public Television as part of their fleet. Not including the fact that the GMT360 SUVs were never my cup of tea.
Zach Maskell should come to realize just how much more important and more interesting the amateur/ham radio world is than the sports and fitness world, and that all sports are icky and yucky.
Further evidence that Patrick Lucas, along with Greg Carloss and Zach Maskell should be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
Greg Carloss, Patrick Lucas, and Zach Maskell should also get a life when it comes to video games; and should realize just how much more productive and more interesting the amateur/ham radio world is.
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music such as Stephen Bishop’s song from 1981 “It’s Only Love”, Earl Klugh’s song from 1985 “The Only One For Me”; and Eric Carmen’s song from 1975 “All By Myself”.
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas also have a lot in common with Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld, who, along with fellow Formula 1 driver Jenson Button, Indy Car driver James Hinchcliffe; and several NASCAR drivers, are not my cup of tea.

The 1991 murder of this young man in Lubbock, Texas; whose name is Scott Dunn; is the subject of an episode of the television program Forensic Files.
This young man, Scott Dunn; had served in the U.S Army for some time prior to his discharge and his return to the civilian world; and once Scott Dunn had reentered the civilian world, he had worked at an automotive electronics store installing aftermarket car radios prior to his murder.
If this one time young stud, Scott Dunn were still alive today; he would be turning 50 years old as of 2017.
A bag of human remains dug up last week have many talking about a cold case involving a murder where the body was never found.
