Harold Keith's The Runt of Rogers School was one of my first ties to the University of Oklahoma. My father read this inspiring story of a "runt" overcoming his size deficiencies to succeed in his favorite sport when I was too young to read over and over until I read it for myself in the second grade. I was lucky enough to meet Harold Keith, the famed author and ghost writer of Bud Wilkinson, a few times before he passed. My dad would always embarrass me and tell him how much I loved his book by telling him how many copies we had "worn out." The Runt of Rogers School not only inspired me to strive for my goals, but I intend to pass it down to my children.
