 No. 14: Eddie Hill
In 1972, Hill was the Texas road-racing champion, but by 1974, after having exhausted the fun of outrunning the local racers and with no time to race nationally against the Professionals, Hill sought another outlet to fulfill his need for speed and G forces.
Hill also set speed records that year in the SDBA (220.76 mph), the ADBA (215.82), and the International Hot Boat Association (212.78 mph) to become the only racer to hold records in all four associations at the same time.
The physically and mentally youthful Hill, who was 60 when he won for the last time in 1996, remains the oldest winner of a Professional eliminator in NHRA history and a member of the Drag Racing Hall of Fame.

 Sonoma Zinfandel • Old Hill Ranch ~ Sonoma's Oldest Vineyard
Hill was the first grower in Sonoma to plant non-mission grape varieties which he imported from Peru (the Peruvian varieties were likely of Spanish origin.) As early as 1855, when Hill and General Vallejo owned the most extensive vineyards in Sonoma County, Hill is thought to have already planted Zinfandel.
In 1889, Hill sold much of his land but kept two parcels, the south-east corner 60-acre portion, which is now Old Hill Ranch, and a 100-acre parcel on Sonoma Mountain which his son sold to Jack London in 1903.
Upon Hill's death in 1897, the land was passed on to his son Robert Potter Hill, who farmed the ranch until his demise in 1940.

 Joe Hill (1879 - 1915)
In 1887, Hill's father died from an occupational injury and the children were forced to quit school to support themselves.
The San Pedro dockworkers' strike led to Hill's first recorded encounter with the police, who arrested him in June 1913 and held him for 30 days on a charge of vagrancy because, he said later, he was "a little too active to suit the chief of the burg" during the strike.
According to one of Hill's Wobbly-songwriter colleagues, Ralph Chaplin (who wrote the words to "Solidarity Forever," among other songs), all the envelopes were opened on May 1, 1916, and their contents scattered to the winds, in accordance with Hill's last wishes, expressed in a poem written on the eve of his death:

Ironically, Hill stated in a previous interview that he was never crazy about the "King of Swing's" artistry.

 BBC - Shropshire - History - Old Oswestry hill fort
Old Oswestry lies across the route of Wat's Dyke, which was most likely built in the 5th or 6th Century.
Old Oswestry has been described as the finest example of an Iron Age hill fort in the Marches, and this is mainly because of its highly elaborate defences.
Old Oswestry was investigated by archaeologists some 60 years ago, and excavations show the hill fort was occupied probably from the late Bronze Age - before any of the ramparts were built.

Hill said she is currently at work on her new web site, lynnhillclimbs.com, which is scheduled for a spring launch.
Ironically, Hill said she found it easier to write about things that took place long ago, because she had had the time and opportunity to carefully consider those experiences, than it was to write about more recent events.

As an evangelist Hill's preaching and prayers are geared towards the salvation of the lost, the backsliders and the prodigals.
Another reason that Hill is involved in this current revival in Brownsville could be that he ‘caught the fire’ from elsewhere and was the spark that ignited the flame.
