My grandfather James G. Hill worked overseas all his life. He was a forman for an International Construction Company. He told me stories of all the places he worked and lived. Iran, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. He was living in Bangladesh when they gained their Independence from Pakistan in the 70's. He spent the last years of his career in Bangladesh building roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. He was in Bangladesh for probably 15 years.

Grandpa Hill (on the left) reading some blueprints. I don't know when or where but somewhere overseas I'm guessing in the late 50's.
Grandpa Hill was cool. I would see him every so often. He would come to Poplar Bluff Missouri where I lived every few years and we would spend some time together. I wish I could have spent more time with him but he was gone overseas a lot. He lived in Phoenix Arizona.
Grandpa Hill had the coolest car. An early Thunderbird. This is him and the T-Bird in Phoenix. This picture looks like it's from the 80's. Grandpa passed away in the late 80's, after I moved to Florida...I'm going to say around 1986.
