I was also told that he showed up at a track in Dora, Oklahoma a time or two during that period and could still haul the mail on a motor scooter. Then disappeared again as quickly as he surfaced. Knowing Ron (although it has been decades), his life has likely been a very interesting journey that would make a great sitcom. Off the track, he was a great guy and I hope it's going well for him. One more thing. I remember Ron most for the fact that he rode practice just like a moto. He'd knock your a## down, run over you---he only knew one speed.
