Ron Hill Family: Hill Marine and Signature Propellers

[Ron Hill]

Found these two pictures....I thought the color picture might have been taken by Jeff Lytle's dad....But I see the spelling is different...

After I left Valleyfield, I raced DePue, Chicago to Milwaukee to Chicago Marathon, OPC Nationals at Canton, Ohio (Before there was a Pro Football Hall of Fame) and then the Stock Nationals in Essex, Maryland....Drove home from Essex, caught an airplane for New York to run the Hudson River Marathon...

Inside is Don Brunjies, Ernie Dawe (Who won), Dick Lovelace, Don Hagerl (I think in Don Voisin's DeSilva) and 19-C is Ron Hill.

This picture is in Detroit. Charles SLough owned beauty shops in San Diego. After he left the Stock Nationals in Maryland, he attended a "Beautican's Nationals in New York, which he won...

Here he's looking at the Unlimites...with my dad and me...

Also pictured is Charles's D Runabout floater...

Not sure you can read what my brother's flyer said...

When Ted May and I headed for Paris, in September 1968....I saved the ticket, becasue at the time, the ticket was almost the same as a month's pay from teaching....Of course, OMC paid for the ticket...BUT, I took a month off work to go race....When I retired I'd lost a half year of service....Five Octobers....no pay, not retirement...But I'd do it again in a heartbeat....

Hell, if they still ran the Six Hours of Paris, I'd go to watch....Something about walking from the Paris Hilton, under that big tower to ther ace course, always brought chills.....racing in "DONW TOWN" Paris, France....
