For instance, the secret service or- ders Barringer to stay at the wheel continuously. ‘When President Hoover was at Kings Mountain in 1932 some- thing went wrong with the motor and Barringer started to get out of the car to repair it. “The secret service men wouldn’t let me,” he says. “They told me to stay in my seat and be ready to move immediately.” One operative rides on running board. Never Criticized Presidents are gracious passen- j gers, Barringer says, and none has each ized his driving. A “personal touch” gave Wood- row Wilson a favored place in Barringer’s memories, When Wilson came to Charlotte in 1916, he slipped away after a formal program for a drive to | Davidson college, 20 miles away, where he once studied as an un- dergraduate.
