Herman Wedemeyer, Saint Louis RB

A wonderful excerpt from Art Suehiro's book, Honolulu Stadium, recalls former Saint Louis great Herman Wedemeyer.

Honolulu Stadium: Football Fever

Wedemeyer went on to an All-American career at St. Mary's. He went on to play pro football for the Los Angeles Dons and Baltimore Colts. He also had a distinguished business and political career, but he may be best known to the younger generations as "Duke" in Hawaii Five-O. He passed away in 1999. The man lived quite a life!
