What a great idea! Aussies plan photo show of national meets
The folks at Australian Masters Athletics are the picture of creativity. They are planning a “Nostalgia Photo Display” at 2015 outdoor masters nationals in Sydney. “So far we have received Nationals photos from 1974, 77, 79, 80, 84, 86 to 92, 94 & 99, so we are still after some from the missing years,” says a posting. “Please have a look through your photo albums over Christmas and send them through to our photo collator Ron Wills as jpeg files to ron.wills39@gmail.com. Please identify the event, date the photo was taken, and as many persons as they can.” Wouldn’t it be cool to collect similar shots [from private collections] for USATF masters nationals? These digital images also could be posted on mastershistory.org — the USATF-subsidized site. But why stop at Australia and America. Every affiliate should focus on such a project. WMA, get behind this!

What a great idea. I don’t hold out any hope that WMA will follow this lead – only seem interested in shots of men in suits, committee meetings, etc.
Tom, I’m waiting 20 years until I send in the wonderful shots you took at Sacramento
