The History of AIG (Part I)

[Carol Thompson]

One of Mrs. Smith's sisters was Mrs. Amos R. Little. "Capt. Amos Little, parachuting doctor from the Colorado Springs, Colo. Army Air Base, was reported in Helena in readiness to drop down to the site of the [airplane] wreck." (Fresnan Is Copilot Of Lost Plane; Wreck Is Sighted. Fresno Bee, May 9, 1946.) "Dr. Amos Little of Helena, Mont., temporary chairman of the Olympic Ski Games committee, said the tryouts for the 1952 Olympic ski team will be held next March 10 and 11." (Sun Valley Named for Olympic Tryouts. Oakland Tribune, May 7, 1950.) [He was manager of the US Olympic ski team in 1960-1964], and a vice president of the Federation International de Ski in 1972. (Olympic Ski Disaster? By Omer Crane. Fresno Bee, Jan. 19, 1972.) Amos Rogers Little 3d was a skier of note until an injury in 1971 or 2. What a coincidence.

I'm not sure of their relationship to Amos Rogers Little b. Marshfield, Mass., who moved to Philadelphia and became a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He had a wife, but I haven't found any mention of children.
