I'm 70 years old and have lived in the Akron-Tallmadge, Ohio area all of my life. For 10-years (1957-1967) I lived most summers at our home in Cook Forest, Pa. I'm a U.S. Army veteran (1971-1973). I collect many things such as: antique cars, antique firearms, movies, movie props, old newspapers and posters, Wyatt Earp items, Civil War items, John Wayne items, items from the old west including Native American items, just about anything historical. I've been married for 47-years. My wife and I have a son and a daughter and three granddaughters and two great grandchildren.
Hollywood stuntman Dick Grace, 32, stands with newsreel crews at General Field in East Akron before attempting General Tire & Rubber Co.'s Blow-Out Proof Test in May, 1930. In 10-years of stunts, he broke 68 bones - including his neck in the 1927 filming of the Academy Award-winning "Wings".
