For many years, as an elementary school teacher, Mark Wilson carried a quote from UI football legend Nile Kinnick in his pocket. After retirement, he got interested in other writings by Iowa’s only Heisman Trophy winner, and the result is “The Way of Nile C. Kinnick Jr.,” a collection of insights, images and stories of Kinnick, who many think would have become an American leader had he not perished in 1943 in a Navy training accident.
Mark will read from his book at Prairie Lights on Nov. 8. Details and purchase information at www.icecubepress.com.
