V 11 N. 60 Request for Old AAU Books and a T&FN Giveaway

 

We have some requests for documents to relay to our readers.  First from Russ Reabold of Trojan Force who is looking for some of those old AAU annual books that came out annually with results of conference meets, AAU results, and All American lists.  Here is his letter.  I used to have a few, but alas many moves and marriage brought an end to much of 'stuff'.     Oh No!!The second request comes from my blog mate Roy Mason who wishes to divest himself of his Track and Field News collection.  

Hi George,

I have a favor to ask. I’m in dire need of finding AAU All American information / lists from several past AAU books (like those old Spalding’s books).  I wouldn’t need to whole book (but would not object to receiving any), but only the page(s) that have the All-Am lists. It’s a bit much to ask but I’m attempting to verify the All American awards for USC athletes and I have a few too many gaps in my information. I’ll understand if you choose to decline.

AAU books needed
1941
1943
1944
1945
1952
1954
1955
1957
1958

And any and all books after 1968, including the 70s

Track and Field News  on the bloc


The time has come to move my 112 pounds of Track and Field News. 

Mostly complete years from 1959 to 1990.  There are a few from the mid-fifties. 

Suggestions for somewhere to donate or if someone wants them, if they pay the shipping, they got em.     If you are intersted, contact Roy by responding to me, George,  and I will forward your request to him.    irathermediate@gmail.com,   my email.
