Friends:

This is really a long shot, but I'm trying to locate any relatives of the late Charles Justus Wick, who was a U.S. race photographer during the late 1950s and 1960s. He was based in the South and shot a lot of SCCA races and Porsche-related material for Porsche Panorama, the magazine of the Porsche Club of America. I believe he passed away years ago, but he shot some interesting photos, and for a possible book project I'm trying to find out if his negatiives still exist. Any help will be much appreciated.

Four years, no replies, so I'll hereby bump this topic. CJW lived and worked out of Delray Beach, Florida, where he appears to have been a commercial photographer. Apparently he passed away in 1998. His family may have had connections to Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Any information on his files would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

If you haven't already, it might be worth contacting:
— Mark Weber (I have is info)
— Mark Yeager (I have his info)
— A longtime shooter in Atlanta whose name escapes me... but has connections to Road Atlanta and the Walter Mitty event
— SCCA?

Best of Luck.

Hi Frank,

Charles Justus Wick passed in the early 70's with no next of kin per his death certificate (I looked for him 10-15 years ago). No negatives are in existence to my knowledge.

Regards,

Chad Struer
