Stanford Raynold "Stan" Brookshire (July 22, 1905 – October 10, 1990) was a mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina. Brookshire served as mayor from 1961 to 1969. He was the longest-serving mayor until 1975, when his immediate successor, John M. Belk, tied him by winning his fourth re-election, though Belk's fourth term would be extended another six months thanks to a change in state law. Former mayor (and eventual North Carolina governor) Pat McCrory is currently the longest-serving mayor, with seven terms; he stepped down from the position at the end of 2009, following the election of Anthony Foxx. A native of Troutman, North Carolina, Brookshire graduated from Duke University and came to Charlotte as a newspaper reporter. He led the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce (as would Belk) prior to becoming mayor. The Brookshire Freeway, as well as Brookshire Boulevard (both parts of North Carolina Highway 16; the former is shared with Interstate 277), are named in honor of him, and he, along with Belk, is the subject of a book by Alex Coffin, entitled ''Brookshire & Belk: Businessmen in City Hall''. == External links == *(''Brookshire & Belk: Businessmen in City Hall'' ) at GetCited.com *(Mayoral biography at Charmeck.org ) *(Oral History Interview with Stanford Raynold Brookshire ) from (Oral Histories of the American South ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Brookshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
