He persuaded his summer congregation in Wellfleet, Mass, to build a church, designed by Finnish-born Olav Hammarstrom, which groups 350 people around an octagonal sanctuary, and no churchgoer is more than six rows from the altar rail.

When a truck manufacturer scoffed at the idea of aluminum truck beds, Harvey helped build some to prove the point. Today 85% of all truck beds and semitrailers are aluminum, v. the 85% once made of steel. To show railroad skeptics, Harvey recently had built an all-aluminum 85-ft. railroad car, now has constant requests for its use, hopes orders will follow...
