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.”

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)
