he yellow brass ring that my granddaughter Ashley is grabbing is a 1952 type used back then. The late Herb Randall gave this to me and it has never been in a ring feeder until today, April 4, 2006. In this photo, Ashley is riding Eddie, which is sponsored by the Hilliard Corporation.

If it wasn't for some really fine people, this would have never happened:

Brent Barron, Hilliard Engineer, who had the arm milled and the cover plate cut to specifications. I can't say enough about Brent, only Hilliard's should be grateful to have him on board, I know I am. Thanks Brent !!!!

Don Peterson, President of Fairway Springs and Daniel Goodwin, tool and die maker at Fairway. Daniel redesigned the ring fingers and took it to the next level. We now have a state-of-the-art ring feeder which no other amusement park in the country has. Daniel, you are excellent in what you do !!! Thanks to Don and Daniel !!!
