Here we have another item of an estate collection belonging to Margaret Farnum.1984 Souvenir Olympic Baseball personally autographed by manager Rod Dedeaux on the sweet spot. It comes in a plastic display case and reads TO #1 OLYMPIC SUPPORTAH -DAVE- ROD DEDEAUX USA.
All of these items come from the offices of Margaret Farnum and were acquired over a 44 year career affiliated with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
She was born in Heyburn, Idaho, but found a college recruiter to be quite convincing, and packed up to attend college at Woodbury College in Los Angeles. Margaret badly wanted to work in the movie industry, so she could meet her idol Gene Autry. Instead, she came out of college and worked at Helms Athletic Foundation for 15 years, and then went on to an amazing 44-year career that ended at age 85, when she retired as the Chief Administrative Officer of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena. She was the first woman to hold such a position at a major sports venue. Although she didn't make it into the movie industry, she married the son of actor William Farnum, Sr. Margaret was the perfect person to work in the sports, entertainment, and political world, because she learned to treat everyone equally, and was a role model for so many women. Many more coliseum related items will be offered so keep watching and bid often.
