February 27, 2025: "History of Oshkosh Trucks" presented by James Lofy
In 1915, William Besserdich and Bernhard Mosling patented their innovative four-wheel drive system. Unable to find a buyer for their design, they endeavored to realize its promise themselves. That marked the start of Oshkosh Corporation — and set the tone for the next century.
James Lofy represented Oshkosh trucks for over 10 years. He will entertain and educate his audience with many interesting facts and pictures about this well known Wisconsin company. James’s presentation will include highlights of disastrous snow storms to dealing with foreign governments.
Today, Oshkosh Corporation continues to dream, discover and develop new and improved ways to make a difference in people’s lives around the world.
