Properties

The Times obit mentions an estate in San Marino and another in Ojai. Can we get a good list of everything he owned, or all the places he lived.Hollis I. Mulwray (talk) 04:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Family Tree

Is there a good family tree we can use anywhere, maybe even include as a chart or something?Hollis I. Mulwray (talk) 04:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

It would probably be good to include some stuff about how he loved to surf and had this man's man kind of image, Safaris, et cetera.Hollis I. Mulwray (talk) 04:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other potential sources

The Times obit says he was profiled in "Time, Newsweek and Editor & Publisher, Road & Track, Strength and Health, and Safari Club." I wonder if we could dig up new info from them. Or at least find a photo we can use. Hollis I. Mulwray (talk) 04:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting your inquiries Hollis, I'm curious too, but I think you'd like to know that PBS in LA did a documentary on Otis Chandler and his rise with the L.A. Times. It also covered the back story of the Chandler family and the mysterious extended family that wielded (in secret) much power with the Board of Directors who eventually had him removed in 1980. --72.67.123.31 (talk) 02:43, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No photo

Surely, there has to be a photo available of the man?evrik 20:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The internet's come a long way since 2006. Can you use one of these pictures found using Google's image search: http://images.google.com/images?q=otis%20chandler&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

"63/47 of an inch"?

Under the heading "Youth: Education and athletics", the penultimate sentence in the second paragraph contains the phrase "...with a toss of 57 feet (17 m), 63/47 of an inch..." (emphasis added). Can anyone explain this odd form of measurement? I am unaware of any standard that uses 47ths of an inch, and it is uncommon to have the numerator of a fraction be larger than the denominator.
