As a pilot in the early days of aviation, Ron broke local glider records.

1930-1933:
Graduating from Woodward School for Boys in 1930, Ron enrolls at George Washington University. Here he studies engineering and atomic and molecular physics and embarks upon a personal search for answers to the human dilemma. His first experiment concerning the structure and function of the mind is carried out while at the university.

	In the early 1930s Ron wrote technical features for popular aviation magazines.

Additionally, he is on the reporting and photography staff of the Washington Herald, while performing as the balladeer for local radio station WOL and writing serial drama shows. Taking his thirst for adventure to the skies, Ron is introduced to glider flying and quickly becomes recognized as one of the country’s most outstanding pilots. With virtually no training time, he takes up powered flight and barnstorms throughout the Midwest.

Writing for the nationwide Sportsman Pilot magazine, Ron details the latest aviation developments and advises fellow pilots on flight procedures in adverse conditions.
