In researching this book I came across some wrestling memorabilia hidden away father basement office. A lot of the stuff we found I had never seen before, pictures of him wrestling Joliet Junior College, pictures of him in his Oklahoma State uniform, trophies, medals and old newspaper clippings. Dad had saved all these things and buried them away under the stairs in our basement. He was never one to brag about himself, because it made him uncomfortable. Reading the old articles and discovering the old trophies and medals gave me the idea to tell his story. One of the items we came across was a telegram from legendary wrestler and wrestling Coach Myron Roderick, who recruited my father at Oklahoma State.
