Letter text John Hatley Norton, esq. Winchester Dear Sir. Williamsburg, 22 February, It is probable the suits were not dismissed, but suspended one of the parties being considered perhaps as a british subject. RC DLC. Cover missing. The portions damaged by blotting and tears have been restored by conjectures enclosed within brackets. The Virginia legislature passed an act at the Oct. He often would jump on or in the vehicle to show the stunt driver how to do things.

This often ended badly, and did so on the second day of the film when Needham hit one of the two-foot-deep furrows left by the tanks. That delayed filming for about a week while Needham healed up, and kicked the film off on a crazy foot. Putting it together was fraught with mishaps that included faux-electric dune buggies that nearly asphyxiated the drivers one driver passed out cold behind the wheel with his foot on the throttle and drove around in circles until someone rode up next to him on a motorcycle to cut the engine.

In one of the many night scenes, several dozen vehicles were supposed to meet in the middle of a dusty town. The stunt men sat shivering in black spandex on a cold dark night in the desert, waiting to be told to fire up their machines and funnel into the town. It was glare ice. When the vehicles stormed into town, lights blazing and on the gas, they slipped and spun on the ice-slicked dirt road into a massive pile-up of bikes, bodies, and dune buggies. Domokos flipped over backwards into a cactus, J.

Roberts jumped a dune buggy more than a hundred feet in the dark, and literally hundreds of hand-fired rockets filled the skies. If you were in the wrong spot, somebody would hit you in the back. After Megaforce , Hateley continued to appear regularly on the silver screen. Hartline was the stunt coordinator for Time Rider , and had by that time established himself in that position.

He also stunt coordinated Eye of the Tiger , a action film in which Gary Busey goes fist-to-helmet with a motorcycle gang. Hartline hired a number of motorcycle-riding women for the film, one of the most talented of which was artist and District 37 champion Candace Hartman. Hateley was doubling the lead baddie in the film, and the two motorcycle riders instantly hit it off. Then they start pulling up to work at the same time. Not long after working together on Eye of the Tiger , the two married.

Many of the stunts designed by directors and stunt coordinators were simple crashes that required little or no talent to pull off. As he became more experienced, he learned to work with the stunt coordinators to reduce the risks by reducing speed or increasing clearances a bit. He also learned to never give percent in the first take. That way, when the director asked for more on a further take, the rider could up the action with a reasonable level of risk.

The double was in a sidecar rig and Hateley was chasing him on a faux German military motorcycle. Steven Spielberg, the director, wanted Hateley to wheelie up to the sidecar and buzz the double with the front wheel. Speilberg kept urging him to get closer, and Hateley got so close he dropped the front wheel in the sidecar. John will be remembered by friends and family as a kind, caring, and compassionate gentleman, a role model for all of us, a decent and honorable citizen and a loving husband, father and grandfather.

John is survived by his wife, Kathleen, his son Rusty and his partner Christina Lane, his son Bruce and his wife Maria, his beloved grandchildren, James and Julia, his brother David and his wife Teri, his nephew David, Jr. John will be interred at the Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Auburn on April 25 in a private ceremony. On-line condolences may be shared at the Hobbs Funeral Home website. Your email address will not be published.
