A SPECIAL FREE EVENT FEATURING ~
The book: Coach Lee Patton, The Untold Legend
Website: CoachLeePatton.com/
The author (Bill Yearout) and Lee Patton's granddaughter (Carolyn Gordon) will be here to discuss the book and share stories about Lee, Agnes, Ann, and Laura Lee Patton, their friends, Lee's players + life in Princeton during the Great Depression and WW2. The book features lots of Princeton families.
The story winds its way from a Texas railroad camp to Arizona to Massachusetts to Princeton WV to Morgantown where Coach Patton launched WVU's Golden Age of Basketball before his tragic death in 1950.
As a coach, Lee Patton set records at PHS and WVU that remain unbroken, yet he was far more than a great coach. Lee Patton was a catalyst, an example, a beloved neighbor who inspired Princetonians to aim high and shoot straight.
Time: Author's talk (about 35 minutes) is followed by Q & A plus time as needed for purchasing and book signing
