Rickie Hill

I have fond memories of my two years @ East Meck. Transitioned to East Meck in 1970, following 10th grade @ Garinger High. Enjoyed my association with the marching eagles band, where I served as the co-drum major during my Sr. Year, under band director, Michael Soltys.

Currently enjoy gardening, visiting and spoiling grandkids and traveling with my wife. I’m also an avid cyclist, woodworker and Pitt master.

After East Meck, I attended and graduated from UNC-CHapel Hill, with a B.S. in Chem/Zoology. After graduation, I worked as an insurance underwriting trainee, with the plan to work a couple of years and return to graduate or pharmacy school. I met the love of my life, Karen soon thereafter, and the rest is history. I recently retired after 42 years as an insurance underwriting manager.
