Carroll Shelby, of course, created the Shelby Cobra. He died in Dallas last night at the age of 89. Shelby was Woodrow grad. Whenever a Woodrow grad does something, I hear from the Wildcat faithful. One sent me a note pointing out that Shelby graduated with former Dallas mayor and Tom Thumb president Jack Evans, ARCO CEO William Kieschnick, Admiral Kenneth Woodfin, and Ruth Altshuler. Not a bad class. Shelby shows up in this video, produced to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Woodrow.
