Audrey McElmury (b. Audrey Phleger, October 1943 La Jolla, California, USA, died March 26, 2013) was the first American to win the world road cycling championship. She won in Brno, Czechoslovakia in 1969, having fallen and remounted her bike. Hers was the United States' first world cycling championship since Frank Kramer won the professional sprint race in 1912.
Background:
Audrey McElmury grew up in La Jolla, California, where her first sport was surfing. She began cycling after breaking her leg after falling from a skate board in 1960. She won the Californian cycling championship in 1964, riding on velodromes because there was no other racing for women. She trained with men on the road, getting up at 4.30am for the first of two daily rides. She said the regime ended her marriage. She won the national pursuit title and the first national road championship in 1966.
Cycling career:
McElmury rode the world championship in Rome in 1968 and finished fifth in a race that ended in a sprint. She was picked again for the championship in Czechoslovakia the following year. The American cycling federation did not have the money to pay all the fares for the three women. It cost her $10,000 with fares, lodging and meals. Writers Alice Kovler and James McCullagh said: "The argument against funding women was based essentially on the fact that there were so few of them competing, and the dues paid by these [to the national federation] amounted to very little.
The races were held on the anniversary of the Soviet Union's occupation of the country after the Prague Spring. The cycling historian Peter Nye wrote: "Tanks were everywhere, up and down every street, and soldiers were armed with machine guns. The Czechs were anti-communist and pro-American.; they cheered the U.S. riders wildly in the races and booed the Russians. When the Russians won, the Czechs even walked out of the medal ceremonies."
McElmury rode both track and road. She came seventh in the 3,000m pursuit race, then later rode the 62 km road race. She said: “The pavement [road surface] was somewhat chewed up from the tank treads. The course was one that suited my riding. I was good in the hills, and I time-trialled well. On about the third lap, it started pouring buckets. On the fourth lap, I got away on the hill by about 15 seconds, but I fell down while putting on the brakes in a corner on the descent. The pack caught me as I got up. The rain was chilly enough that I didn't feel the full effect of my bruised hip, and the rain exaggerated the amount of blood from a cut on my elbows. I chased the pack with an ambulance following me to see if I was all right."
McElmury regained the field on the last lap and then went clear again on the hill. She finished 1m 10s ahead of a British rider, Bernadette Swinnerton. Her victory was so unexpected that the award ceremony was delayed half an hour while officials searched for a recording of the American national anthem.
When McElmury returned to the USA, a local television reporter wanted to know less about her world championship than the anniversary of the Russian invasion. Other coverage was also scant. In France, Miroir du Cyclisme predicted a rise in the prominence of American women cyclists with a cartoon that changed the graffiti "US go home!" to "US go femme!"
James McCullagh wrote: "Not surprisingly, she received more attention in Europe than she did in America. Europeans understood and appreciated her ride. Accordingly, she was immediately engaged by the Italian team, to ride for them and eventually coach them. Returning to this country [USA], McElmury still found it difficult to obtain travel expenses even though she was a strong enough rider to hold her own on the criterium circuit with the best American men, usually finishing in the top ten.
In 1969 she won the national omnium championship, in 1970 the pursuit and road championships. She set the national hour record, 24.8 miles at the Encino velodrome in California and held it from 1969 to 1990. McElmury retired from cycling after a crash in 1976 and took up running. She and husband Micharl Levonas continued to coach cyclists and triathletes in San Diego until they left the area.
Personal life"
McElmury married two cyclists, first Scott McElmury whom she met in 1958, when she was 15, and, in 1971, Michael Levonas. She and Levonas studied for business degrees at the University of Denver and worked in Mountain Home, Idaho for the Mountain Home school food service. They lived in West Yellowstone. The two wrote a book, Bicycle Training for Triathletes *and Others. Audrey is featured in a chapter devoted to her in the track cycling reference "NO BRAKES! Bicycle Track Racing in the United States".
McElmury had a degree in zoology from the University of California in San Diego. She had a son, Ian, born in 1967. She was inducted to the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame in 1989. Her World Champion 1969 Berry bicycle is presently on loan to the Hall of Champions in San Diego, CA.

OBITUARY

Audrey Phleger McElmury Levonas was born on January 24, 1943 in Amherst, Mass. to Fred B. Phleger and Marjorie Temple Phleger. She passed away on March 26, 2013 at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital due to complications arising from treatment for brain cancer.
Audrey is best known as America’s first World Road Racing Champion in cycling. She won that title in 1969 in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Audrey was also many times American National Champion and record holder in both road and track races, over a career spanning 14 years, from 1963 to 1976. A crash during a 1974 training ride resulted in a severe concussion, which essentially ended her racing career, though she did participate in a few more races after that. She and her husband Michael Levonas continued coaching other cyclists and triathletes for eight more years.
Audrey was a versatile athlete, running a 3:20 marathon time in 1982. She enjoyed rafting and floating the Smith River 42 times with Michael beginning in 1990. They also enjoyed snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, backpacking and hiking with the “WOWS,” cooking and reading. She especially loved her four cats.
Audrey and Michael first met at the World Cycling Championships in Mendrisio, Switzerland, where they competed for the U.S. National Cycling Team. Audrey was scheduled to ride both track and road events, finishing fourth in the road race. Michael came straight from the Pan Am Games in Cali, Colombia, competing in the men’s road race. The two spent the rest of the year traveling Italy, Switzerland and Austria. They moved to the Costa del Sol, on the Spanish Mediterranean, for winter training, returning to Italy the next February and spent the year competing on the roads of Italy and France. At the World Cycling Championships in France in 1972, Audrey again finished in fourth place.
Returning to the United States, Audrey and Michael attended the University of Denver from 1973 to 1976, where they earned degrees in hotel and restaurant management. They spent the next 20 years traveling throughout the Western states working in the food service industry. At the end of their careers, Michael managed food services for the Helena School District while Audrey worked as a teacher and cook in preschool.
In 1996, Audrey and Michael decided to semi-retire in West Yellowstone, where they had spent many happy days in outdoor sports activities over the previous seven years. They built a log house where Michael still resides.
Audrey is survived by her husband Michael Levonas of West Yellowstone, her son Ian McElmury of Seattle, Wash. and brother Charles Frederick (Rick) Phleger of Tasmania, Australia.
Donations in the name of Audrey Levonas can be made to the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital Cancer Center, 931 Highland Blvd., Bozeman, MT 59715.

World War II, U.S.M.C., Brig. General. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marine Fighter Squadron 216 (VMF-216) was a fighter squadron of the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Known as the “Bulldogs”, they were deactivated on March 10, 1945 and remain in an inactive status today.
Marine Fighter Squadron 216 was formed at Marine Corps Air Station El Centro, California in January of 1943 but was not officially commissioned until September 16, 1943 with Major Rivers J. Morrell, Jr. in command. Initially training in FM-1 Wildcats, they transitioned to the Vought F4U-1 Corsair and operated roughly 18 of these aircraft at any one time.
VMF-216 was the first squadron to land at the recently-opened airstrip at Torokina on December 10th of 1943. By this time they had at least partially transitioned to the F4U-1A Corsair, featuring a bubble canopy.
On August 4, 1944, VMF-216 joined VMF(N)-534, VMF-217, and VMF-225 on Guam following the invasion of the island by United States forces. Following this, they were based on the Essex Class aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-18) starting in early February of 1945 and participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima. They remained aboard until Wasp retired to the west coast for overhaul of battle damage. The squadron was deactivated on March 10, 1945.

BIOGRAPHY

United States Marine Corps (Ret.)

Brigadier General (Retired)
Rivers J. Morrell

BGen Rivers J. Morrell, Jr., USMC Brigadier General Rivers J. Morrell, Jr. who earned the Navy Cross while serving in the South Pacific during World War II, is now serving as the Commanding Officer of Marine Wing Service Group-27 at the Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC. He was awarded the Navy Cross in 1942 for service with Marine Fighter Squadron-223 in the early days of fighting at Guadalcanal. Colonel Morrell was born on 26 May 1913, in Los Angeles, CA where he graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1930. He then entered the University of Southern California and left the university to enter the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in May 1953. Graduating from the Academy in 1937, he received a Bachelor of Engineering degree and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. From February to November of 1940, Colonel Morrell was under flight training at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, FL. At the outbreak of World War II, the Colonel was based at the Marine Corps Air Station, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, with Marine Aircraft Group-2 but was assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron-223 as Executive Officer in May 1942. In October 1942, the Colonel was assigned to Guadacanal with Marine Fighter Squadron-223, and after being wounded in combat, was evacuated to the U.S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, CA. He received a Purple Heart Medal for wounds sustained in combat. After released from the Naval Hospital in February 1943, he was assigned a Group Executive Office of Marine Base Defense Aircraft Group-43 based at the Marine Corps Air Station, El Centro, CA. A few months later he assumed command of Marine Fighter Squadron 216 at El Centro. In September 1943, Colonel Morrell's squadron was assigned duty in the Pacific. In January 1944, he assumed duties as Operations Officer of Marine Aircraft Group-12, and later as Operations Officer for the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. At the termination of World War II, Colonel Morrell served at the Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro, CA with Marine Aircraft Group-41 and Marine Aircraft Group-46. From February 1946 to December 1947 he served as Commanding Officer, Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment at the Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, CA. In February 1948, he entered the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, VA. Upon completion of the Staff College, he was assigned to Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC where he served until 1950 at the outbreak of the Korean War. He was then assigned to the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing in Korea. After his Korean tour, the Colonel returned to Washington, DC to work with the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group. This was followed by a tour at the Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro, and then to Hawaii as a staff member of the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet. The Colonel returned for duty at Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC in September 1957, where he served as Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, prior to assuming his present duties. Colonel Morrell was promoted to his present rank in 1951. In addition to the Navy Cross and Purple Heart, the Colonel was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Air Medal while serving in the Pacific Campaign during World War II. During the Korean Campaign, he was awarded the Legion of Merit.

OBITUARY

WYGANT, Jr., Benyaurd Borne
Our dear Ben passed on to the realms of spirit on Sept 14, 2009 after 99 full years of life. We will miss his mind, quick until the end, his vast memory that included German and French poetry, and his steadfastness in doing what was of integrity and honor. All of us who knew Ben were blessed to have him for so long and to be inspired by his ever present thirst for learning and involvement in life as well as his playing tennis untill 90 and golf until 95! Ben was a devoted husband, first to Edith for 47 years and with whom he raised three children, Nicholas, Anne Vogt and Jonathan, and second to Pat for 25 years with whom he traveled, danced and enjoyed many golden years. Ben was very devoted to his family and is survived by his grandchildren, Kelly, Kristine, Melissa and Gabriella and his great grandchildren, Tyler, Justin, Christopher, Caitlyn, Tristan, Emily and Andrew. When one thinks of a true gentleman, one of propriety and kindness, one thinks of Ben Wygant. We will miss your kind and genuine nature, Ben, knowing you are in wondrous realms of Light and having been blessed by your kind and generous soul while you were with us. Those in his family give heartfelt thanks to his many caregivers over the last months of his life who made his transition comfortable, loving and peaceful. We are deeply grateful.
