...inner-directed Huck Finn. He was born in October 1925 in Corning, Iowa, where his father Homer-dubbed, inevitably, Kit-worked for a utility company. When Johnny was eight, his family moved to Norfolk, Neb. (pop. 15,200), where Homer (who is now retired) was appointed to the district managership of the Nebraska Light & Power...

I will never forget the kindness and fatherly advice given to me by Getchell and Bill Bingham as well as the help of all the HAA office. Naturally, young men would rather play the sport than manage it but there are certainly many rewards for being...
