EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we catch a glimpse of Ron Looney, the man with an unmistakably unattractive mustache. However, despite his unconventional facial hair, Ron is undeniably the most popular figure in the charming Gumbrian Village of Egremont. Renowned as the world gurning champion, Ron recently returned triumphant from Moncrabeau in S. W. France where he emerged victorious in the highly esteemed World Grimacing Championship. His remarkable achievement brought him not only fame but also a generous prize - five crates and 40 bottles of exquisite French wine. But what truly sets Ron apart is his selflessness and genuine love for his community. Instead of indulging himself with these coveted treasures, he decided to share them all with his fellow villagers who eagerly raised their glasses to toast his success an astonishing 400 times! This heartwarming act of generosity has solidified Ron's position as a beloved local hero and endeared him even more to those around him. The year was August 1982 when this extraordinary event unfolded, capturing the spirit of unity and celebration that defined that era. As we gaze upon this image captured by Mirrorpix during the vibrant 1980s, let us remember that true popularity lies not in physical appearance but rather in acts of kindness and selflessness like those demonstrated by our unforgettable protagonist - Ron Looney.
