Dave Kindred, IWU Class of 1963, and others in the IWU community will offer remarks and selections from his vast collection<\/a> will be available for viewing. Guests may also tour the repository in Tate Archives & Special Collections on The Ames Library’s 4th floor.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
After a 50-year sportswriting career, the archive of Dave’s work contains more than 300 of his reporter\u2019s notebooks; articles he’s written; scrapbooks from his trips to cover the Olympics; materials related to the 12 books he’s written; and correspondence with colleagues, readers, and research subjects.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dave’s work continues and as his collection continues to grow, researchers and the general public will benefit from being able to access his award-winning insights!<\/div>\n

\nDave Kindred\u2019s legacy as a sportswriter was cemented when he became the recipient of the Red Smith Award for lifetime achievement in sports journalism in 1991. He was the youngest winner of the prestigious award at just 50 years old. Other awards that he has received include the National Sportswriter of the Year (1997), The Curt Gowdy Media Award (2000), The Dick Schaap Award for Outstanding Journalism (2011), The Nat Fleischer Memorial Award (2012), the PGA Lifetime Achievement Award (2013), the Dan Jenkins Medal for Career Achievement in Sportswriting (2018), and the PEN\/ESPN Lifetime Achievement Award for Literary Sports Writing (2018).<\/span><\/p>\n

Only Frank Deford and Dave Kindred have won the Smith, Jenkins and PEN\/ESPN awards–the three highest awards in sports journalism!<\/p>\n
