Hey OBRA-land

I'm looking for any background information on several items that fell into
my possession from a friend who attended an estate sale a few years ago.
There were lots of photos of cyclists (mostly track riders) taken in the
30's, 40's, and 50's. I also have some posters announcing the national
championship road racing for the years 1939 and 1941.

Some of the people I would be curious to know more about is: Marvin
Thompson (trackie) who rode for the "Geo. F. Barrett cycling club; Phillip
J. Hohnstein who rode for the Rose City Wheelmen, and lived at 923 SW 4th;
Ray E. garner who lived at 935 SE Hawthorne, and Furman Kugler (great name)
who I have a picture on the ABLA national road championships in Pasadena, CA
dated August 23, 1941.

I also have a picture of an awards ceremeny looks like a six day race, and
the riders are: Korsmier, Killian, Vincent de Norie, Vopel, Heurtan, and
Judith Allen. And lastly a picture of a guy named "Yates", and he's wearing
a starts and stripes jersey standing behind a chrome track bike.

If you can provide me any additional information on this stuff let me know.
