The Colantonio Sports Journal

About the Book

This book is the summation of support and co-operation from many people over a five decade period of time. Most of Fred’s feature articles were published in various Chicago community newspapers. Other feature articles were published in several cities around the state of Illinois and the country. Some articles were left unpublished because the newspapers ceased to exist or had cut back on the number of articles they could run in their papers. I wish to thank my parents for their encouragement and making me stick to my goals. They were an immense help to me during my formative and adult life. I am sorry that they are not living and cannot see the manifestation of my dreams. Love you Mom and Dad.
