Our very own Ken Gross
has won an award from the National Press Club: the 2008 WAPA Golden Quill Award
. The presentation was at the National Press Club on Friday, January 25th, 2008, and the Chief judge was David Hess, a retired professor and writer from Springfield, VA. The Golden Quill citation read as follows:
"Few writers in the realm of automotive literature can match Ken Gross' way with words. His encyclopedic grasp of automotive science, design and technology shines through his columns in ways even lay readers can understand...
He combines this knowledge with a fluent command of language that stokes the senses in one's mind, to the point of hearing thrumming cylinders and sniffing the tangy odor of hot engine oil. The columns he submitted for the Golden Quill Award trace the romance of a man and his machines over half a century, along the way recounting in sparkling prose a history of the development of the car."
