Ed Tonore is a retired attorney who practiced in Jackson Mississippi before retiring to Fairhope, AL in 1995. To quote from the introduction to the book on the Amazon website, “It began as a tribute to his father. Every weekend for an entire season, Ed Tonore set out to attend the highest-rated college football game in the country. Not only did his national quest remind him of the history and traditions of American football, but it taught Ed how great the people in America are and how important it is to cross things off of your bucket list. Having documented his journey on his blog, Ed pulls from those posts in this compilation of sights, sounds, tailgates, traditions, and the history of each university he visited during the season. The icing on the cake is a bonus section of recipes from the most popular restaurants in these college towns. Many of these "must-visit" restaurants shared their signature recipes with Ed. Entertaining, informative, and witty, you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy the ride!"
We thank Tonore for his very interesting presentation to our club, for his enthusiasm for football, and the need to cross items off your bucket list. He (right) is shown in the following photo with club president Greg Campbell (center) and club member Mark Kennedy (left).
