Ocie Randall… Here is another of those names you always see listed under “fellows who did all the work” at various meets, and other organized modeling activities. Ocie is a member of the Fresno Gas Model Club, California Assoc. Model Clubs, and edits the “Fresno Model News.” Though he always seems to be involved in running meets, he has done plenty of flying too and has collected an impressive array of trophies, medals and ribbons. He is a city employee at Fresno, served in the National Guard in 1917. Says he started model building in 1927, while recuperating from a broken neck. Claims no records except a local duration time of 51½ min. in 1940. Ocie is married, has four children; the youngest, Carl, who is 20, is also [a] successful modeler, was International Meet Champ, Senior Class D Gas in 1948.
