Dyer Family Influential in Los Angeles Sports
In your obituary of Braven Dyer Jr., I was surprised that you did not mention that “Bud” Dyer was the son of Braven Dyer, the respected and fine sportswriter for the L.A. Times during the ‘30s through at least the ‘50s. Braven Sr. was a contemporary in the sports department of Bill Henry early on, and then Paul Zimmerman, Paul Lowry, Jack Singer and others, and later on Jack Geyer, Harley Tinkham and Johnny De La Vega, who were acquaintances of mine.
