Thomas Coyne
Thomas Coyne of Kalamazoo, Michigan has been a frequent contributor to this blog for more than ten years. The retired former Vice President of Student Services at Western Michigan was a competitor in Track and Field from high school to college and a long time supporter of the sport through Western Michigan and his high school alma mater St. Ignatius HS in Chicago. He has written about St. Ignatius and done book reviews for all of you. Thomas and his good friend Paul O'Shea from St. Ignatius arrived about the same time telling us a story of travels with that team in the company of fellow alum Tom O'Hara to the East Coast with the school cross country team. From there on it was an eager wait for what next that Thomas and Paul would bring to us from their long history which dovetailed beautifully with our goals in this effort of story telling.
Here is one of Tom's pieces from our third year in business.
Memories of the Chicago Distance Running Scene 1940- 1970s
This piece is about the St. Ignatius Team by Paul O'Shea
