Don Bragg, the Olympian who once owned Paradise Lake Campground (Kamp Olympic) and the property on the lake at 679 and the Ives Branch has died. He played Tarzan in the movies and in more recent years lost his home to a fire.
He was the Athletic Director at Stockton when I was there in 1974-77. I thought he was just a muscular, gregarious jock, (of course at the time I was a "long hair" tennis player) but reading up on his life he was much more than that. A true original who had a fascinating, rich life.
