Informations provided by uncle Quentin:Hilton was a very good student all through his school days. He was in the Honor Society and Adjutant in ROTC in High School. Hilton and I (uncle Quentin) both were track-guys, and we did a lot of winning. Hilton set a record in the 50-yard dash which uncle Quentin thought he would break, but it was not to be since the record held up for 35-40 years. This was the Junior High level. We could'nt afford the more expensive equipment for sports participation (track shoes we got somehow), but Hilton entered fielday events put on one occasion and he was good enough to win a nice baseball glove and baseball and a tennis racquet. The baseball glove we wore out but the tennis racquet got very little use until I was in 9th grade.
Hilton was a hobby person. He got to messing with radio. Well, he first built a crystal set, which was no challenge, but he continued on and on. At 15 he went to Nashville alone and obtained his Ham radio license which was no "bad shakes". He really got into building his own receivers and transmitters. The end result of this that a master-sargent who was into Ham radio "biz" got in touch with Hilton about coming into the Army (6th Calvary at Ft. Oglethorpe) and he could become a staff sergeant after going to radio school at Ft. Monmouth, N.J.
Well, Hilton did this and in 4 months he was a staff sergeant in the Army, and "in the army" he was!..2 SOUR S668
