Remembering Bob Frederick and The Power of Character
Posted Jun 7, 2015
As I wrote earlier this week about Darryl Motley and the letter he received from Dick Howser shortly before or soon after Howser died from brain cancer in 1987, I was reminded of a similar but more abrupt and piercing event in June 2009. Prairie Village’s Bill Hancock, now the executive director of the College Football Playoff, received in the mail a postcard from former Kansas athletic director Bob Frederick — who had died at 69 the day before from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident in Lawrence.
