Random Thoughts, Interests and Observations from "The Hillman", Founder, Curator and CEO of THE HILLMAN MUSEUM & LEARNING CENTER
Hillman Museum & Learning Center - Florida Campus
Where The Learning Never Stops! (And the music keeps us smiling.)
Sir Winston Churchill, B. Nov. 30, 1874 - D. Jan. 24, 1965
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure.... the creed of ignorance.... and the gospel of envy."
Chuck Ealey, B 1950 - currently living in Toronto after his amazing pro football career in the CFL.
From 1964 to 1967, Ealey played for Notre Dame High School under Ohio High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Famer, Ed Miller. In 1967, under his leadership, Notre Dame captured its first Ohio High School Athletic Association state championship. Ealey was lightly recruited despite finishing his high school career at with a 30-0 record. He was offered a football scholarship to Miami University with then Coach Bo Schembechler to be the team's third string quarterback, but Ealey refused. He was then offered a scholarship to the University of Toledo to start as first string quarterback, which he accepted and would lead Toledo to 35 consecutive wins in a three year span from 1969-1971, an NCAA record that still stands[1], ranking ahead of players such as the University of Miami's Ken Dorsey and USC's Matt Leinart. ~~ PS: I could have played with Chuck Ealey on this undefeated UT football team but I turned down the chance. Had I known how good Ealey and that UT team was going to be I definitely would have played. A youthful bad decision that I regret yet today. --Hillman
Marcus Tullius Cicero, B. Jan. 3, 106 BC - D. Dec. 7, 43 BC
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Alice Liddell, B. May 4, 1852 - D. Nov. 16, 1934
The Real Alice In Wonderland
Wyatt Earp, B. Mar. 19, 1848 - D. Jan. 13, 1929
When asked what is the most important thing in a gunfight, Wyatt Earp said: "You have to take your time... in a hurry."
Doc Holliday - Dentist, Gambler & Gunfighter, Aug. 14, 1851 - Nov. 8, 1887
"You're a daisy if you do." --favorite Doc Holliday quip.
Johnny Ringo, Gunfighter, B. May 30, 1850 - D. July 13, 1882
Fastest gun alive .... AKA: "King of the Cowboys"... well educated, from a good family, but very short-tempered, especially when he drank which was often! (This is the only known photo of Johnny Ringo.)
Ava Gardner, B. Dec. 24, 1924 - D. Jan. 25, 1990
Hollywood's most beautiful & glamorous actress ever!

SHAKIRA - The Complete Package... Voice, Face, Body, Dancer & Performer!!!
Her fans worldwide know every word of all her songs. Whereas I, on the other hand, don't understand a word she's singing. But that's okay. Click on her picture and see what I mean. She's a blonde, barefoot, human dynamo when performing! I highly recommend her awesome live DVD & CD set named: "Shakira - Live & Off the Record" -- (Click on the photo.) -- NOTE: SHAKIRA'S & OTHER PHOTOS ABOVE ARE A LINK TO THAT PERSON VIA VIDEOS OR OTHER PHOTOS. -- JUST CLICK ON ANY OF THE PHOTOS ABOVE & ENJOY!!!
