What a wonderful, insightful look at the life and career of this eastern Iowa MVP -- Rick Coleman. Terrific reporting & writing job, Pat Kinney. I crossed paths with Coleman many times over our careers, but I’ve never had an opportunity for a good personal visit. Now I feel almost like I’ve had one.
This column put me back to so many names, events I recall. Spent 50 years in Blackhawk County and taught Rick Coleman. His charm and chatter made him the fun person you write about. He Clearly chose a profession and life that allow him to achieve the success he deserves. The first time I watched his sports report I remember thinking “of course this is perfect for Rick!”

Pat. You're sure doing a good job of finding and writing interesting Cedar Valley stories. I'm glad you introduced me to your column. Keep at it. Jim
Another great story, Pat. So much talent surrounds us. Rick is a great guy and we're blessed to have him among us.
Great story! It is good to be reminded of all Coleman has done.
