Wondering if you are the son of Duane Putnam that I met during the summer I worked at the camp.

I was employed by Duane Putnam and Jack Elena as a camp counselor at their Northern California ranch/camp for the summer of 1964. I was a student/athlete at the college where Elena was a coach. The plan was for Duane to work with me when there was time. He was generous with his time and advice. His wife and kids were there and I enjoyed being part of the ensemble. The son had the nickname "Putter" and may be the Robert Putnam who comments in the space above. Duane Putnam had good advice and techniques and warrants being in any HOF I can imagine, especially the one for loving husband and father.

No need for a strong advocate! His numbers and his play are better than most lineman in the HOF! He was one of the greats and a even better coach!

Think he needs a strong advocate to get in HOF
