Talk:Los Angeles Athletic Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am seeking records and info regading Bantamweight Champ ( 1928) BUSHY GRAHAM from Utica, N Y

Does the World Boxing Assoc. have data regarding my uncle Bushy ( Angelo Geraci) ?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of this great boxer acknowledged by JACK DEMPSEY as " The greatest little fighter ,pound -for pound in the business."

Thanks much

[edit] Leo vandendale, US Junior Olympic Gymnastic Champion, 1928

Hello,

I wonder if anyone has any information about or pictures of my father, Leo Francis Vandendale, who was 1928 US Junior Olympic Gymnastic Champion representing the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Later he attended USC and joined a group of acrobats called the "Four Trojans", which toured Europe and the United States. I was told that he was photographed in newsreels doing a one-armed handstand on top of the Empire State Building and could do 3 1/2 summersaults over the backs of a dozen men! Perhaps these are only hand-me-down stories told to children that parallel popular "urban ledgends" or perhaps these stories are based on real accomplishments. I would greatly appreciate any information about his history with the LA Athletic Club or knowledge you may share. Write me, Leland van den Daele, at vdd@psychodiagnostics.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Satananda (talk • contribs) 05:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
