I don't post often here on TG but most everyone should know me if you frequent the LW Forum and my San Diego Archery History Project.
I have recently made contact with Roman Gray Jr., the son of a prominent Archery shop owner in the San Diego community of La Mesa during the 60's and 70's. While there's no one better than Roman junior to tell about his father, he was fairly young when his dad moved from San Diego to Alaska and as such doesn't know a whole lot about the scene in San Diego. Additionally, not foreseeing a need, over the years he has disposed of records, and such, pertaining to his dad's business.
He suggested that I might find some old acquaintances of his dad among the members here.
So, with that being said, I'm looking for any stories or pictures relating to Roman Gray Archery in La Mesa California.
Aside from my San Diego History Project, I'm also an amateur historian for the San Diego Archers and have collaborated with Dave Gordon Jr of Gordon Plastics Inc to donate historic items to the San Diego History Center. All my requests and efforts are motivated by the desire to preserve this history.
Any info would be appreciated.
Jim, wish I could help but if I have the right store in mind I visited it once. That was late 70's. I knew members of Bearstate Bowhunters that traded at his store that lived out that way. Unfortunately I believe they have passed on by now. Only other person I know that knew him was CR Learn because he mentioned him the one time we shot together at the "sandpit".
