Ron Rankin

Don't know if anyone has heard, but your Speed World race director and good friend Ron Rankin is possibly leaving us. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ron for only a little while, and those of us who have had the pleasure of really knowing him know that he is probably one of the most dedicated, honest, friendliest people you will ever meet. Ron has been a HUGE[u] part of RC here in EL Paso, and it will not be the same without him. Ron has been the single most important person involved in Speed World's success, of this I'm certain. RON - I'd like to personally thank you for all the endless hours of commitment, and dedication to everyone else's joys and pleasures. It was the most unselfish thing of you to do - to sit out 99.9% of the RC fun, and watch, direct, and help out with the success of RC in this city. Anyone who reads this, take some time to think about what Ron has actually done for El Paso; for you, and think about how hard it would be to deal with us RC guys day in and day out. Ron, you truly are a class act. I want to wish him the best of luck, and I hope that wherever life takes him, he truly finds back the joy that he has shared with everyone he's known here. At this point I may be jumping the gun, but I just wanted to share this with everyone. Anyone who reads this, please feel free to comment.

Thanks Ron, really; for everything. If you are leaving EP, please stay in contact, and come visit as often as possible.

I can't say anything about Ron that Gino hasn't already said. Ron you are truly a class act! You were always able to help out me and any other "joe" that came around sticking our noses into the R/C community here in El Paso. Thank you for everything. You will be missed around here Airborne Hoosier. Stay safe in your future ventures and remember your friends here as we will remember you.
