I have no idea why I have not used this resource for this before but it
took Ed Hansen's mention of the Long Island Wheelmen to jog my brain
cells. I have been working on a paper dealing with the frame builder,
bike shop owner and sometime coach Dick Power, who worked in Queens, NY.
I have already interviewed quite a few of the people who knew him some
from the 30's and 40's who went off to war with him, and some from the
fifties and 60's who raced around Flushing Meadows park and the Kissena
velodrome. Anyway, If any of you on the list knew Dick and would be
willing to endure an interview I would be much appreciative. Please
contact me off list and I will arrange a convenient time to call. BTW,
the first version of this research project is going to be presented in
Toronto at the International Cycle History Conference this coming July.
Thanks for any help,
