General discussions on Wheelmen topics. / Bob Sawyer, former Mass sate captain, has passed

« on: June 06, 2019, 06:03:31 AM »

I just heard that Bob Sawyer passed away on May 7th, he was 97. I knew Bob thru a friend and we attended a few swaps together. I bumped into him on the Minuteman Bikeway a couple of times riding his bike. I was always surprised at how fit he was even into his 90's. Just an amazing guy. He will be missed.

Looking to buy any items related to Major Taylor. Pinbacks, postcards, cigarette/trade cards, magazines, books, etc. Been collecting for awhile and it's getting harder to find things I don't already have. Send me a message if you have anything you'd like to move. Thank you ! Jim.
