I
saw your Frank Wykoff web page referenced from a
Track & Field News message board. You might be
interested to know
that Mr. Wykoff is also in
the Carpinteria High School Athletic Hall of Fame
for his impact in our community, in particular the
part he played in maintaining and promoting the
Russell Cup track meet -- the oldest annual high
school meet in California. Also, we have some
video tape here at Carpinteria High that was
transferred from an old 16 mm silent film of the
Russell Cup meeting in either 1937 or 1938 (no one
seems quite certain which year). If I recall
correctly there is a brief sequence of tape
showing Mr. Wykoff at the meet. You have a
wonderfully historic website of both personal and
general interest.
Thanks and best wishes.

Dear Dave & Terry,
I just did a search on Google for
'Delos Thurber' and was thrilled
to find your site! Several years
ago I tried to find him on the net
and came up empty handed. I'm not
sure if there wasn't any information
then, or if I just wasn't adept at
searching. (Probably the latter.)
I never knew if the tale about Delos
Thurber winning an Olympic medal was
true or not. Thanks to you, now I
know!
Delos Thurber is (was?) my
biological grandfather. He and my
grandmother divorced when my father
was just a small child and he had no
further contact with him since the
age of five or so (about 1945). My
father's family all passed away in
the last few years. I would be
grateful if you had any further
information that you would be able
to pass along.
Appreciatively,
Julia Paschal
