The fastest man alive

Dec. 3, 2007 – Summit County near Akron in Springfield - Art Arfons dies. Once the fastest man alive, he is buried with wrenches in his hands, a J79 jet operating manual and a jar of his beloved Bonneville salt at his side. He once tested jets by anchoring them to trees in his backyard, which must have annoyed the neighbors terribly.
