How do I find A billboard Ad that was in Oregon with Alex Karras in the 70's about recycling?

Question

I was a kid and was on the advertisment with him. I never received a copy of what the ad looked like. Would love to find it!

Answer 1

Alex Karras wrote two autobiographies - Big Boys Cry Too and Alex Karras by Alex Karras on his life and being a player of the Detroit Lions. He had a problem with gambling (having been suspended from the NFL in 1963 due to gambling on games and for associating with unsavory types) and alcohol problems during his life. He started a youth program to help trouble youths with drug and alcohol problems. He was also a professional wrestler for a short period of time. Perhaps one of these two books will mention the agent he used at the time, or even show the billboard. You might also try to contact Mr. Karras directly using the book publisher as a intermediary - he might have a copy of the ad in his portfolio, or at least be able to help you know what the ad was about.

Good luck!
