Nelson Ledges Chaplain’s Notes - JOHN McGILL and the WORLD
The other day we lost an original at eighty nine years. To say John McGill was one of a kind is a vast understatement. Although his picture is in the dictionary as a definition of curmudgeon, he also had a heart for anyone down on his luck. Many a “poor boy” was helped by spending time at John’s home for the wayward otherwise known as the Nelson Ledges Road Course. John had formed the track with Marvin (great name, huh?) Drucker and was the track manager from 1962-2004. Now his son Scott Lane and daughter Kerrie Bartzi run the track.
