Eight years and about 72,000 miles ago I asked Beth Henville, the then sports editor of the Glasgow Courier why the Hinsdale Raiders weren’t getting any “ink” and could I do something to change that situation. Beth told me to “write something up and we’ll see what happens” and as they say, “the rest is geography.” There were several or more years when I didn’t miss a volleyball match, a basketball game or a track meet.
