President Of Pat Harty Fan Club


An e-mail from Bobby Burchfield [which may or may not be his real name] of Bondurant:
Pat Harty

"Hi, Ron,

"With all of this talk about Iowa City Press-Citizen sportswriters not covering Hawkeye sports anymore, I have a suggestion. I think all Des Moines Register sportswriters--not just Mark Emmert--should be canned, and Pat Harty of the Press-Citizen should cover the Hawkeyes for both the Register and the Press-Citizen. Harty is the best Hawkeye writer [other than you, of course] in the state. His stuff is much better than any writing done by Register sportswriters. In fact, I'd read Harty if he wrote about Iowa State,too. The Register's Cyclone writers suck when compared to Harty's style."

Bobby Burchfield
Bondurant, IA

[RON MALY'S COMMENTS: Good hearing from you, Bobby, and thanks for the kind words, It looks like you've become president of the Pat Harty Fan Club].
