For our 50th episode celebration, we're bringing very excited to be bringing on our father! This is a special extended edition episode as we have so much to talk about in this episode! Within the episode, we get talking a little about Ron's background in growing up in Western New York, his original dream of being a pilot and his experience in flight training and troubles he ran into with turbulence on one flight. Related to flying, we talk too about traveling and seeing the world and some of the experiences and tips. We also talk about Ron's career, starting as a chemist, and then getting into management, and finally in his eventual retirement, which was early due to developing cervical dystonia. We discuss what cervical dystonia is exactly, and efforts to manage the condition, and overall awareness around it. Wrapping the episode up, we talk about Ron's hope for the future and what he'd like to do with his retirement, and of course too...we talk about the Buffalo Bills and what this season could bring, and what Studd and Sons will do should the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl (and where they'll be). This and so very much more in this special edition of Between Two Studds!
