Billy Mills: A Gentle Giant

It was snowing lightly this past Tuesday in Michigan. It was the first snowfall during autumn. Because of the snow, I left several minutes for my trip to Kalamazoo from Grand Rapids for lunch with Billy Mills (Oglala Sioux Tribe) and his wife Pat.

I arrived 10 minutes early to pick them up at their hotel. They were already waiting for me in a guest sitting area. 

The legendary Olympian Billy Mills was in Michigan to speak at two universities: Western Michigan University (WMU) and Grand Valley State University (GVSU). I was honored to be asked to interview him for "A Conversation with Billy Mills" at both universities.
