Edgar Stansbury
Edgar Bryant Stansbury, son of Emmet and Mable Stansbury was born 1906 in Corbin, Kentucky. He attended Shepherdsville high school and came to WKU in 1926 where he played basketball and football. Upon graduation in 1930 he became assistant coach to E.A. Diddle. After World War II he returned briefly as athletic director in 1946-1947. Stansbury returned to the air force in 1947 and later worked for Rockwell. A lifelong WKU supporter, he died in Largo, Florida in 2009 at the age of 103.
A collection of his personal papers have recently come into University Archives and are being processed. They include 10 scrapbooks compiled over the course of Stansbury’s life regarding WKU athletics and his military career and a photograph collection. Three of the scrapbook have been digitized so far and are available online at: http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/stu_alum_papers/
The collection is available for researchers to use in the Harrison-Baird Reading Room of the Kentucky Building, Monday-Saturday, 9 to 4.

I think stansbury made a significant impact in your college’s athletics that’s why he’s been featured. It’s good to know that various sports were in existence even before world war… I always go for cheap college textbooks. Are those archives open for everyone who want to look at it? Oh, i see you’ll make it available online. Thanks!
nice sport athlete trivia. try to find more about sports on online publications. Are your publications for public domain? It’s nice to read about classic sport personalities.
