Crew Chief, and Thorp alum, Kurt Alger is the Head Crew Chief of Boom Supersonic, and he and his crew helped design the XB-1 prototype that became the first independently funded, American made civilian built aircraft to achieve supersonic speeds.
Thorp is known for its many “Amazing Grazing Cows” those brightly colored and unique fiberglass cows, calves and benches that dot the city. However, last Thursday City Hall received a call regarding the real deal. It was reported that a calf was spotted trotting down Washington Street.
