Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph article dated April 8, 1961 reads, "Just seconds after Tracy Sheffield, 17, above right, beat Dennis Pierce, 17, in Granada Hills track meet, young Sheffield's father collapsed in the crowded stands and died. At bottom, Roy Underhiil [sic], of Los Angeles Fire Department's Rescue 87, uses a resuscitator in a vain attempt to revive the blanket-covered Sheffield as Reseda High School coach Quentin Quick, left, and Dr. Jacobs (woman at right), present in the stands, wait to help. This dramatic sequence of photographs was taken for the Valley Times TODAY by Stuart Berman, 18, Northridge, photographer for Granada Hills High School yearbook, the Tartan."
