Millionaire Mechanic Builds Fortune in Earthmoving Gear
R G Le Tourneau age 76 still works long days at his Longview plant and travels weekends to preach. His Longview and Vicksburg factories last year earned about four million dollars and are expected to hit five million this year. The Richford Vermont native says he runs a partnership with God and donates most of his wealth to the Le Tourneau Foundation. He survives multiple near misses and a serious 1937 two car crash that killed two others.
