Summer has finally arrived, Chic Harley and Buckeye fans, and attention is slowly turning toward football.
Surprising, isn’t it?
We’re back for regular weekly installments.
First of all, we want to tell you that interest in “The One And Only: Chic Harley - America’s Great Athlete” continues. A Columbus area bookstore just ordered a new batch of books that you’ll see on local shelves. If you want to order through our chicharley.,com website, we’ll toss in a free Chic t-shirt as well.
In the meantime, momentum seems to be gaining for the building of a statue of Chic either in front of or somewhere near the great “Horseshoe”. To our delight more and more people are getting to know Chic and the contributions he made to the school and its entire sports program. “The One And Only” tells the entire story of Chic in 300 pages filled with rare photos and never before known information such as his lifelong bout with mental illness. A Chicago area sculptor has expressed strong interest in the project. It’s the same sculptor who created the famed Michael Jordan statue in front of the United Center.
Within the next two weeks, the annual “Buckeye Battle Cry” magazine, which yearly previews Ohio State football, will be published. Inside is an in-depth story about Harley, along with photos. Your’s truly wrote the article for the magazine. Get a copy and let me know what you think.
If you have any questions about Harley or the book, please contact me.
