This is my dad, Carl Hemp(e), He won several national pistol matches (not titles)
and was the 1st Mr.America in 1939 - Nick Name Saxon. They had 3 that year, he was the
middle weight and is the only one still living. This picture was taken by one of
my dad's greatest friends, Dr. Jerry Cole, LLU grad-class/69 - an endodontist
in Concord CA. Jerry lost his battle with Lymphoma shortly after this.
