Wright, David Lane, b. May 22, 1929, d. Jun 26, 1967, Idaho Major US Air Force, Bronze Star Medal, Sec 3 Lot 472

I'm thinking it's him:

According to the site below, he corresponded with athletes, and his bio says in part: "...from the time he was a young man he kept copious journals. He loved sports, especially baseball and football...He also was a sports writer for the student paper...The scope and breadth is impressive due no doubt to Wright's compulsive saving, including letters he received as a child."
