Picture
     It all began in 1939 when a group of  businessmen, headed  by L. Gordon (Dick) MacDonald, met at the old "Y" in Chester, Pennsylvania, to plan a father and son dinner. Since then, it has become a Delaware County sports institution, known as the Delaware County Old Timers Association. 
      In 1956, the Delaware County Athletes Hall of Fame became  its constituent, becoming the first such organization in the County. Inscribed on plaques in the Delaware County Athletes Hall  of Fame are the names of men and women from Delaware County who participated and  excelled in athletic activities.  The Delco  Hall of Fame is an all Volunteer organization with 501.c.3 status.
    If we were to trace the journey of any one of these  individuals on their way to the Hall of Fame, we would find many reached their  goal because of their God-given talent. Others had to overcome physical  disabilities to become great. Still others were fortunate to be the right  person, in the right place, at the right time. Not only have their names been recorded, but also their achievements. Their records shall stand as a challenge  for all those who may follow, that they too may participate, excel and achieve.  To these athletes we dedicate our organization.
