About this ebook

A Football Story examines the journey of Mike Wolf from the gridiron at Western Kansas University, where he was a student and an outstanding football player, to the college lectern at that university, where he reinvents himself as a talented assistant professor in computer engineering. Despite academic demands, he is drawn back into football as a member of the university athletics board. Only a few months into his appointment, a serious cheating episode carried out by members of the football team drives Mike to find a way to right the wrongs that contaminate the sport. The journey is complex. His personal experiences go beyond intellectual challenges to violent attacks protesting his efforts to clean up football. Even he couldn’t have anticipated the final impact of his efforts.

Author

Peter F. Lester

Peter is an Emeritus professor at San Jose State University in California. During his forty years of association with the university, he played football as a student and was on the Athletics Board as a faculty member. Prior to that, he was an adventurous cyclist, riding from Pasadena to Yosemite several times, as a teenager. Both of these parts of his life play into his two books: 'Out of the Shadows and Into the Fire', and 'A Football Story'. As a Meteorology professor, he was known and respected worldwide, giving papers at conferences, being a witness in aircraft accident cases, and much more. His research specialty was clear air turbulence. He was beloved by his students, many of whom keep in touch to this day. After a long career based in California, he retired to Ashland, OR, and then Kailua Kona, HI, with his wife, Julia.
