Rick and Tommy May
DAPHNE, Ala. – Daphne, Ala., resident Rick May and his son, Tommy, are regular visitors to the American Sport Art Museum & Archives (ASAMA) on the campus of the United States Sports Academy. Rick May said the pair visits ASAMA at least once every month because he wants to share his love of sport and art with his son.
The Mays recently visited ASAMA and posed in front of Rick’s favorite piece in the museum, “Walter Payton” by Academy 1984 Sport Artist of the Year Donald Moss. The piece is a popular fixture in the Academy’s Sport Artist of the Year Hall of Fame wall inside ASAMA.
