Bob Harron


 

October 30

 
He had a knack of seeing the best in people and encouraging them. Bob Harrron. was  the first sports publicist at Columbia University. At Bob’s urging a Columbia baseball game became the first telecast of a team sport. (April 17, 1939) A  reviewer wrote “baseball will never go on television.”
 
When Bob retired he came to Trinity College and became my mentor. He was the consummate encourager' God knows Bob, I am still trying to be everything you thought I was.

 “Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.” (Romans 14:19)
