H eilm ann. president of Som erset Im porters, L td ., a Norton Sim on Inc. com pany. Franklin Jacobs was honored for his record 7-fo o t, 7 )4 - inch ju m p at the M illrose Games last January, th at put him up higher than any A m erican in history His ultim ate objective is to w in a Gold M edal at the 1980 O lym pic G am es in M o s c o w . Som erset Im porters, L td., has sponsored the T an q u eray A ch ievem en t A w ard for the past eleven years. “ T h a t is m y u ltim ate o b jec tiv e,” said Jacobs. " M o r e th an an yth in g else 1 w an t to w in that gold medal fo r A m eric a. A ll you have to do is w ant som ething bad enough. A n d my size doesn’ t have that much to do w ith it. I also weigh only 150 pounds so 1 d o n ’t have that much to get up there. M y advantage is just that I w ant to w in m ore than anybody else and 1 d o n ’ t care w ho they a re .” J o h n H e ilm a n n , p re s id e n t o f Somerset Im p o rte rs , L t d ., sponsor o f th e T a n q u e r a y A c h ie v e m e n t A w a rd , viewed Jacobs' perform ance in g o in g n e a rly tw o -fe e t o ver his height as "p e rh a p s the most spec tacular in the eleven years that we h ave re c o g n iz e d e x c e lle n c e in a m a te u r s p o rts w ith th is a n n u a l c ita tio n .” “ W h e n you th in k o f F ra n k lin ’ s size, it is ju s t a b o u t th e greatest defiance o f the laws o f gravity since the cow ju m p e d over the m o o n ,” said H e ilm a n n . "A n d , v e ry seriously, w hat an inspiration he is to legions o f yo u n g p eo p le. H e has achieved these m arks very early in his career. H e is a great com petitor w ith a big d rive and it seems likely he w ill go higher and higher. W e are proud to bring him in to o ur distinguished fa m ily o f w in n ers.” Jaco b s, w h o lives in P a te rs o n , New Jersey, where his m other, M rs. Jannie Jacobs raised her own fam ily o f eleven children plus fo u r cousins, said that “ I feel like I ’ m up in the air again in a really great ju m p , to be in such high com pany as the other w in ners o f this a w a rd .” “ T h a t’ s a pretty good bun ch ,” he said when he looked over the list o f fo rm er w inners.
