US National, in 1900 playing for Golf Club de Paris, and therefore classed in the French "team" by the OlyMADMen, but not by me. He was also a member of the Glen Echo Club in St.Louis, and his 1900 experience insured that Golf was also represented at the 1904 Olympics.
In 1920 he purchased a field outside St.Louis and flew balloons and planes from there. He later donated the field to the city and it is now Lambert International Airport.
