his week's speaker was Tim McGrane, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Museum. A native of England (by way of Ireland), Tim came to the US in the early 80's and forged a career in the rarefied world of classic car auctions and acquisitions, with a segue into luxury yachts and aviation along the way. His work brought him into contact with some of the most prominent collectors and enthusiasts, including Ken Behring, founder of the Blackhawk museum. He has been Executive Director of the museum since February of 2013, with a mission to reintroduce area residents to what the Blackhawk Museum has to offer and to attract new generations to this gem of a collection.
