Finding Aid: MS 547 - John L. Neumann Papers and Slide Collection

Abstract

The MS 547 - John L. Neumann Papers and Slide Collection contains mostly photographic slides. These slides relate to three different events or programs, including the International Sports Program with Saudi Arabia that took place in 1976, a 1980 trip to Zacatacas, Mexico, and 1988 visit to Seoul, South Korea for a YMCA conference. The vast majority of the slides come from the International Sports Program with Saudi Arabia. The slides contain a lot of photographs taken from their time spent in Montreal during the 1976 Montreal Olympics. There are also slides from training activities, friendly matches and trips to New York, New Jersey and Cape Cod and Boston. Along with the slides is a small plaque that was given to John Neumann for his participation with this program. There is one folder of slides that were taken at the YMCA conference in Seoul, South Korea, 1988. John Neumann was a volunteer along with clinician Wendy Fox (of the YMCA of the USA) at this conference. The slides seem to be folders taken at the conference and at locations around Seoul, including facilities and/events at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Finally there are a group of folders containing slides from a trip to Zacatacas, Mexico in 1980. John Neumann was guest lecturer and volunteer in an AAHPERD (American Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) sponsored health/nutrition and fitness program held there. Events held at this program, including Bull Fights, Rodeo, and visits to Aztec Ruins are represented.To learn more about John L. Neumann, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/9
