I have a few photos in my archives. They are all U.S. Olympians. All of these images are going to be on the website I am currently building. They are
Millard Bloomer - 1920 Olympian. One of two Millards who competed for the U.S. at the Olympics. The other one was Millard Hampton in athletics
Adeline Gehrig - two studio photos. Though from New York, she is no relation to Lou.
George Calnan and Joe Levis - These are glass plate negatives. In the posed photo it is Harvard fencing coach Renee Percy, Calnan and Levis. Levis was the first intercollegiate champ at MIT in any sport. Later in life he was a competitive ballroom dancer with his wife. Calnan was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. Eight months after the Olympics he died in the explosion of the dirigible U.S.S. Akron off the coast of New Jersey
