This is great to learn of the Bay City connection, Dave.
Just as Elvis' and Michael Jackson's estates make more posthumously than before, the town should offer to send back the physical remains if they can share in licensing of "Thorpiana"--Jim Thorpe-branded souvenir items. I remember construction of a riverfront project halted because of native remains. How can Bay City market the historic Sauk connection--host an annual conference? |

Fascinating story Dave. Also very sad, thorpe was such a champion but such sadness and tragedy in his life. It is especially sad to see that he had been so exploited.
Keep up great work. Bill |
