Jerry Tarr American Football

[caappy]

Gerald LaVern Tarr (born August 27, 1939 in Bakersfield, California) is a former collegiate and professional American football player who played in one AFL season (1962) for the Denver Broncos. Tarr was also a successful college track and field athlete.

Tarr attended the University of Oregon, where he was a two-sport athlete in football and track. In track, Tarr was a member of Oregon's 4 x 110 yard relay team with Mike Gaechter, Harry Jerome, and Mel Renfro, which set a world record in 1962.

Tarr's main event, however, was the 120-yard hurdles. He was the first athlete to win back-to-back NCAA titles in the high hurdles in 1961 and 1962, and in doing so, helped Oregon win its first ever NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship in 1962.

Sent him 2 cards on 8 Apr and got them both back signed on 18 Apr. He also sent a note that he appreciated my letter and enjoys getting autograph requests cause they do cause him to have fond memories of the past...
