Whoa, that threw me for a second. I always think Othon Sr. when I think of the Ochsners. Othon Sr. was well up there in age and still coming to the thursday night track events at Northbrook velodrome when I was racing. He and AL Stiller, Babe VandeVelde, Frank VanHaute would get the reserved seating at the finish line on big track nights. Othon was always shown a lot of respect, though I hadn't a clue who he was till someone explained to me who he was. And the fact he was Swiss pursuit champion in 1919, holy cow.
