My son's great-great grandfather was the first person to ever complete a loop on a bicycle. He was famous stuntman, basically an Evil Knieval of his time. There was actually a special on PBS on the University district. Until last year their family owned one of the oldest houses in Columbus, near the corner of Lane and High. They have photos of it when the house is the only thing in sight, the rest farm land.

His great grandma still has a lot of the memorbilia, circus ads, his luggage, all kinds of neat stuff.
