About Her Father!

"Fame is not the best return for one's best." is what your story tells about your father.

photographer, Ronn Pitts was the first black camera man for the Chicago Bears.

Ronn Pitts may not be well known, but he was loved by many. Besides being the first black camera man for the Chicago Bears, he was always in the right place at the right time. I named him the real "Forrest Gump". My dad saw the assassination of Malcolm X and Harvey Milk. He filmed the first and only NFL player that died during a game. He filmed footage during the Kent State riots and the documentary "The Murder Of Fred Hampton". He was an instructor at Columbia College in Chicago,until he passed(2013). ~ Gayle DP
