Author Patrick “Packy” Mader, present his talk about his newest book, Minnesota Gold.
Packy grew up on a farm near St. Bonifacius, MN, and now lives in Northfield, he teaches fourth through sixth grade near Faribault.
Patrick has had a lifetime fascination with Minnesota sports, history, and geography. He combined those pursuits with his interest in elite international sporting events—primarily the Olympics—to research, interview, and write about fifty-seven living athletes from Minnesota who competed at the highest level. Patrick discovered compelling stories that he thought should be preserved—the result is Minnesota Gold, a fact-filled 400-page book that spans the years 1948 – present, covering a wide range of sports, a balance of men and women, and represents every geographical part of the state.
Through his interviews he was able to chat with swimming gold medalist, Tom Malchow, WNBA star Lindsay Whalen, hockey legend John Mayasich, three-time Olympic soccer goalie, Briana Scurry and 1980 “Miracle on Ice” star Buzz Schneider.
Packy ended his talk with some questions and had some of his books available for sale with $5 of the proceeds donated back to Northfield Rotary.
Ticket coordinators will have additional tickets at each morning meeting until The Taste.
