Re: Coach Bill Cyclone Sullivan
Mike, there is another Forest connection in this story. The SI article was written by Frank Deford one of the best sports writers ever. The idea for the story came from an article he read in the Jackson Clarion Ledger on Bull Sullivan and written by Rick Cleveland, also an outstanding sports writer. Deford found the article in a copy of the CL that was left in his seat on an airplane. Cleveland is a graduate of the USM School of Mass Journalism that was founded by Gene Wiggins FHS '61. He spoke at Gene's funeral a few years ago.
