While AASHO was settling into its new digs, Vulcan was under absentee (as far as the Warrington family was concerned) leadership. William H. Warrington had died two years earlier, George Warrington was in his last years in Washington, James N. Warrington was living in the Los Angeles area because of his health, and his son Chet was building his career as an automobile dealer and moving into the skies over Washington. Transportation was at the centre of both Vulcan’s and the Warrington family’s interests for years to come.
