Page-44, an article about Daniel Morelon, the great French sprint champion. Notice the Commemorative stamp at the top of the page. I watched Morelon race several times at the Encino Velodrome, where I was very active in the late 1950's and early 1960's. I was one of the eight guys that worked tirelessly to get the Encino Velodrome constructed. The other guys, who worked even more than me were; Bob Hansing, Charlie Morton, Jack Kemp, Gerry Mullrooney, and 3 others whose names slip me at this moment. Joel Davis and his father were responsible for the first lighting system that were installed. |
