Since eagle eyed Mr. Silver spotted the material on Nancy Burghart, I
replied but left much out. Thinking about it, since I did chime in, it
now seems a good time to introduce it. As I mentioned Nancy is going to
be inducted into the US Bicycling Hall of Fame at a Dinner being held in
New Brunswick, New Jersey in October. Some of you may know that both
stalwart list member Joe Bender Zanoni and I are both on the Board of
Directors of this organization. I have held off posting info about this
insofar as the Hall has been homeless (physically) for some time but
will, I hope, have one in the near future. As you all know, our own Ted
Ernst was inducted into the Hall last year. Once the Hall is ensconced
in permanent digs I am hoping to solicit the considerable knowledge and
skill of the list in helping to expand its collection of material
related to the history of U.S. bicycle racing. Especially as it relates
to club histories and the stories of individual racers.
In any case, my purpose now it to invite all of you to attend the
October festivities. There will be a famous speaker (whose name I am
unsure I am able to annunce quite yet). It would be really wonderful if
we could put together a table of CR folks. This is something we should
really support even though inductees are not always within our timeline.
For example, another of this years inductees will be Dale Stetina who I
guess, now that I think about it, raced within the timeframe of the CR
list. The date of the dinner is October 20th and I will say more when
tickets become available. If anyone is interested in more information
please contact me off list.
