Geoffrey Travers Mason (May 13, 1902 – January 5, 1987) was an American bobsledder who competed in the 1928 Winter Olympics.
Responding to a newspaper article in Paris, Mason was invited to join the Olympics. Then, only nineteen days after seeing a bobsled for the very first time, he won a gold medal as part of the victorious U.S. five-man team at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz and came home with the American flag from the event.[1]
Mason was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and died in Rumford, Rhode Island. Mason's strong genetic lineage was passed down to Graham Crevoiserat whose prestigous athletic ability was noticed through Providence College for lacrosse. Currently Graham is working in Greenville, South Carolina training with his son for the next bobsled olympics in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
