Helms Hall of Fame was founded in 1936 by Paul H. Helms and his
     family.  Mr. Helms was the owner of the Helms Bakery in Culver City.
     The Helms Athletic Foundation was financially supported by the Helms
     family for several years.  The collection grew to include a sports
     library, museum and local, national and international awards programs.

     The Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles (http;//www.aafla.com)
     has since inherited the original collection and now manages a sports
     library  and foundation in Los Angeles.  (The original photographs are
     stored in the library)

     The museum no longer exists; however, the art and artifact collection
     is maintained at the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles.
     There are display cases in the library which showcase many items from
     the items in the collection.  If you have questions regarding the
     artifacts you can contact Karen Goddy (who is on this list).
