I posted this a few months ago, but it’s appropriate for us to watch it again. John Wooden, who will be described mostly as a college coach , died today. It would, perhaps, be more fitting to note that he was married to the same woman for 53 years and that his last love, was his first love. She’s been gone for more than 20 years, but he still wrote her love letters. She was a lucky woman.
The greatest love story never told
About the blogger
Bob Collins
bcollins@mpr.org • @newscutBob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
