Travis Leon Mayfield

In the land of Cotton and the Home of BAMA Football, Travis Leon Mayfield was born on June 30, 1940 in Littleville, Alabama. Travis was the first born to Austin and Lois Mayfield.

He was raised in Colbert County, Alabama before the family relocated to Winchester, Indiana in 1953. As a youngster, along with his sister, Rose, Travis would go to the fields and pick cotton. At the end of a long day, they would reward themselves with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

After moving to Winchester, Travis made many friends that lasted a lifetime. He attended Winchester schools and was a member of the Winchester High School Class of 1961.

After high school, Travis worked at Anchor Hocking, Sheller Globe (1966-1984), RCA and retiring from Randall Textron of Indianapolis in 1999. During his tenure at Sheller Globe, he became an injection plastic mold specialist. As his interest in this field increased, he attended classes at Ball State University. While at Randall Textron he was an Injection Mold Plastics Engineer.

Being an avid sports fan, Travis spent retirement watching Alabama Football, Indianapolis Colts, Indiana University Basketball and Football, and the Indiana Fever. He also was obsessed with “Big Foot” and was always willing to share a favorite story of his that he himself had seen the Big Guy one night in the woods of Alabama.
