James Hodson "Jimmy" McClure
James Hodson (Jimmy) McClure (September 28, 1916 - February 12, 2005) was an American table tennis player who won, in various divisions, five world championships and was six-time American singles champion. After his playing career was over he served on the Board of Directors of the US Olympic Committee, where he became a spokesperson for the "smaller" sports in the games and won equal funding for them. During his life he danced with Texas Guinan and Dick Powell, served in the Pacific during World War II and, lacking children of his own, worked as a leader and advisor with the Order of DeMolay, a youth group associated with the Freemasons.
