Geoffrey Travers Mason (May 13, 1902 January 5, 1987) Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Geoffrey Travers Mason was an American bobsledder who competed in the 1928 Winter Olympics. Responding to a newspaper article in Paris, Mason was invited to join the Olympics. Then, only nineteen days after seeing a bobsled for the very first time, he won a gold medal as part of the victorious U.S. five-man team at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz and came home with the American flag from the event.[1] He died in Rumford, Rhode Island.
