I think you could add Larsyn Staley, Todd Littlehales, Nick Zeller,
Kendra Kneeland Wenzel, Jake Hacker, and Bob Grummel to the list as
well... Didn't we have a national champion woman in the 60's also?
Certainly there's material here for a "Oregon Cycling Hall of
Fame"... probably need some kind of criteria, like National Champion,
Pan-Am, World or Olympic medalist, an/or a podium place in an "A"
calendar pro race...
Of course, there's the question of who will put in the probably 100s
of hours to do the thing properly?
