EAA has Bill Brennand as one of their "Timeless Voices of Aviation":

EAA 'TIMELESS VOICE OF THE WEEK' - BILL BRENNAND
Timelessvoices_logo2.JPG

In 1943, Bill Brennand went to work for famous air racing legend Steve Wittman in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. With Wittman as his flight instructor, Brennand was soon learning how to wrangle airplanes around pylons himself. Bill began racing in 1947 and quickly became an air racing legend in his own right. He left Wittman Flying Service in 1950 and opened his own small FBO near Neenah, Wisconsin in 1953. Bill ran the FBO at Brennand Airport until his retirement in 1993. In this Timeless Voice segment, Bill recalls some of his air racing adventures.

Thanks Grant!

I've met Bill in person but don't know that much about him other than how Brennand Airport got here. Interesting story about his air racing days.
