*Today would have been Mark Gelinas' 59th birthday. The courageous Gelinas wrote the book Gel-Strong about his struggle with pancreatic cancer. A portion of the proceeds for that book still go to pancreatic cancer research. I miss Mark and think about him all the time. He and I were friends for nearly 40 years.
*Today also would have been Dick Allen's birthday. Dick is the subject of the great new Eckhartz Press book Chili Dog MVP, which has been getting wonderful reviews in the press. Kudos to authors John Owens and Dr. David Fletcher for the incredible job they did on this book. The pre-sale resulted in the biggest pre-sales totals in Eckhartz Press history.
*On this day in 2017, Bobby Skafish appeared on WCIU-TV to talk about his great book We Have Company.
