Dick Van Scyoc ’49 and his daughter, Jan Bogle, have just completed a book, “Manual Labor” covering both his personal and professional life. This book relates stories and provides a living history with regard to high school basketball in Illinois. Many of his Colleagues and former ball players are included.
On Saturday, March 30th, Coach Van will be at the Lincoln Branch Library on the South side of Peoria from 11:00 to 12:00 and The Spot Coffee Shop on Knoxville from 3:00 to 4:00 signing books.There will be a very limited amount of copies at both signing places. The book can be obtained from BookBaby.com or Amazon. All proceeds from the book will go to the Dick Van Scyoc endowed scholarship fund at Wesleyan
Wow…Van Scyoc was a fantastic coach–I’ll quickly buy the book. Wish I could be at the book signing but Illinois is a long ways from Rio Vista, California. Wishing him the Jan the best.
