Photos of Ron Donavon at the controls of this press.
Hi Jim! Thanks for adding the name. Ron’s name has not cropped up in any other photos to date. Remind us of who he was and where he worked. John B
Ron was a fitter in Hyd 1. A very quiet and, in my opinion, a very knowledgeable man. I worked with Ron on many builds in the shop. Learned a lot from his expertise. Thanks Ron. As I recall, he always wanted to live in Devon and by the sea. I hope he and his wife did just that.
