Extractions: and Olympic History Future spot for architect's drawing! The IISOH effectively has two divisions the Library and the Museum. The Board of Directors are seeking benefactor(s) to endow each division with a $25 million donation. An endowment will also be sought for the theatre in the amount of $25 million. The benefactor(s) will then be offered the opportunity to name the Library, Museum or theatre, subject to the final approval of the Board of Directors. Our plans are to construct facilities on a campus approximately 300 acres in size. This will allow us have room for expansion in the decades to come as we increase the endowment and add sports facilities to the educational program. Sports fields are desirable in order to teach through participation and play. If we have a baseball field we can teach the history of baseball by playing a game using 1860 rules for 3 innings, then playing by modern rules for 3 innings. In the basement of the Museum we could have a bowling alley from the 1800's where the pins have to be set by hand, and right next to it have a modern bowling alley that is fully automated. Our visitors can go bowling either way. Consider the possibilities for each and every sport this means a lot of space is needed.

The Olympic games were officially abolished by the Roman emperor in 394 AD after a run of 1170 years! As god of all kings and of all humans, Zeus ruled from lofty Mt. Olympus north of Athens. His primary role was to keep the peace among those same gods and "men" on earth. In his honor a universal truce applied during the Olympic Games every four years and even though the truce was broken on several occasions, the games were never interrupted as a result of war.

Extractions: Picture taken about the time I came to the US in January 1979. History Dave Moulton former bicycle framebuilder My frame building experience dates back to 1957; I first learned this craft from a man named Albert 'Pop' Hodges in Luton, England, an industrial town thirty miles north of London. Pop Hodges was in his seventies at that time and had been building frames since the early 1900s. The first frame builders were blacksmiths and Pop brazed his frames in true blacksmith fashion by heating the joint in a hearth of hot coals. I had been into bicycle racing since the age of 16. Over the years I built and raced my own bikes and experimented with frame design. I first achieved success in the mid 1970s when I had a frame building business in Worcester, England a town in the West Midlands. [Next Page] [Back] The area which included Birmingham the birthplace of the cycle industry, was a hot bed of bicycle racing and many British national team members were from this region. Some of them came to me for their frames which increased my standing as a frame builder. Also the feed back I got from these world class riders furthered my knowledge of frame design About this time a bicycle boom was starting in America and some enthusiasts from the US would fly over to England and order frames from me. There were not many frame builders in the America at that time and this led to my emigrating to the US in January 1979.
