I went to Parkersburg, IA tonight for the book signing of The Sacred Acre. For those who don't know, Ed Thomas was a high school coach who was murdered by one of his former players 2 years ago. He has coached 4 players that have played in the NFL from this small town in Iowa of only 2,000 people. He taught his players not only football but lots of life lessons. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated back in 2009. If you want an inspiring book, you need to read The Sacred Acre!! I had the author Mark Tabb as well as Ed's widow Jan and sons Aaron and Todd sign the book and my pictures of when the family won an ESPY!! American Idol singer Michael Sarver even signed a couple of pictures for me. What a great night!!
