Hi Jerry,
My house was built by one of the primary archetects of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition, so I have developed a small collection things
related to it. I also keep an eye out for things to add to the collection.
Miraculously, while looking for PPIE stuff, I ran accross a Candlestick
Park 1965 program (could have been 1964, the guy had both, but 1965 would
make sense because it would be the 50th Anniv.) and its cover featured a
painting commemorating that race. Inside there was more info, of course.
Believe it or not I could find no data in a five volume encycopedia about
PPIE written in 1918, but I did find several pages (great pics) in a recent
book:
"San Francisco Invites the World"
Donna Ewald & Peter Clute
Cronicle Books, San Francisco
c. 1991
Any specific detail you are looking for?
