Duan Templeton, the big fat man of Climax, died Sunday. Mr. Templeton weighed 480 pounds and was over six feet in height. He measured 36 inches across the shoulders and 94 inches around the waist. He had to have a special buggy made to haul him around. His appetite was said to be in proportion to his size.
(I included this clipping from this Vinette scrapbook just to show what kind of news was printed. If anyone ever runs across Mr. Templeton's obit, we can included it on this board.)
