If you go down to the Labels column on the right side of the home page, and scroll down to Joe's name, the link will take you to the other stories. There are several other rare photos of him in those articles. There is a very early 1907 photo of Joe on an Apache racer in Stephen Wright's book American Racer. Sorry to hear about the loss of Joe's memorabilia. Sadly this is not an uncommon story. A family member of one famous racer I wrote about said a chest of drawers full of his memorabilia disappeared over the years.

Wolter December 3, 2016<br />Joe Wolter was my grandfather, and I remember him showing me his two huge 2" binders filled with articles about his racing and ice skating escapades. I also remember seeing a lot of his trophies he won racing motorcycles. Unfortunately I only have several old photographs showing him with motorcycles. My uncle Less Wolter inherited all his racing memorabilia who in turn gave it to his daughter. I contacted the daughter many years ago inquiring about the racing memorabilia. She told me she no longer had any of it and lost it in a storage unit.<br />I greatly appreciate seeing and reading the interesting article and seeing the pictures. I only wish that I had experienced owning an Excelsior. Paul D.
