Bo Rein

I’m a forum newbie who wanted to share my wonderful experience researching one of your own: Robert “Bo” Rein. My recently published (65 chapter, 335 pp) book FORTY MINUTES TO BATON ROUGE: The Story of Robert “Bo” Rein is the first and only book to be written about the about the Niles, Ohio native who had great success in Columbus playing football and baseball for the Buckeyes. For those who don’t know, Bo Rein tragically died at age 34 on the evening of January 10, 1980 when his twin engine Cessna 441 plunged 40,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean off the Virginia coast, after a 1000 mile “ghost flight” across four states. Rein, the newly hired LSU head football coach, had only been on the job 42 days when the unthinkable happened while returning from a recruiting trip in Louisiana. Twenty years later, we would be reminded of Rein when professional golfer Payne Stewart suffered a similar fate.

Mentored by the likes of Woody Hayes, Lou Holtz and Frank Broyles, there seemed to be nothing that would stop Rein’s ascension to the top. Lured away from NC State by Louisiana State University, Rein was destined for stardom.

The fact that Rein never actually coached a day at LSU muddies the emotional waters and creates an unfortunate chasm between those who knew him and those who never got the chance. At LSU, the sadness resembled a new friend they had just met and abruptly lost. For NC State, the loss was devastation and utter disbelief. And for Ohioans...they had lost a beloved son.

I would be honored to answer any questions about Bo via this forum or the website below.

Pro Tip For New Parents

The KSB
BLUF: When having a difficult time figuring out how to explain things to your children search youtube to see how Mr Rogers did it.

I grew up rough. I didn't really learn some of the critical lessons a child should learn. Crying was not tolerated, feeling were not discussed, etc. I don't believe my father ever once said I love you. I don't mean this to say I had bad parents, they loved me in their own way as best they could and I'm grateful for it. When I became a father I did not want that to be my way. I wanted to my children to feel safe to discuss anything with me. The downside to that is they want to discuss everything with me (and my she-devil wife). The thing is, how to explain things that I myself didn't really understand was challenging. That is until I found YouTube and the plethora of Mr Rogers videos. That man taught me how to be a dad. I was talking to a coworker about the upcoming Mr Rogers movie. I told him what I do when having issues explaining things to my kids. He was blown away and spread it around the office. I'm now like some kind of father of the decade at work. I seriously think I'm going to get an advanced leadership opportunity out of it. I've been flabergasted by the reaction. I just assumed everyone did that. Obviously not, Figured I'd share here just in case it helps.

TLDR: Mr Rogers is parenting on Login to view embedded media easy mode.

Trip of a Lifetime

ShowMeBuck
Just got back from a roughly 10,000 mile road trip with my son who turned 17 on the road. Drove our truck camper to Alaska including using a ferry to see the inside passage from Prince Reuport, BC to Juneau then drove off for a few days then caught it up to Skagway then drove the interior of Alaska, down to the Kenai Penninsula including catching our limit of Sockeye. From there, on a whim we decide to add an extra 1,500 miles or so which took us to Seattle, the whole coast of Oregon, family in central and Southern California where we surfed then back home to Missouri.

What an epic trip. We stayed in a lot of free places like Wal Mart parking lots, we hit a moose broadside in the Yukon (amazingly avoiding major mechanical damage to the rig) my son was served beer as a 16 year old, by a 15 year old worker (again in the Yukon where apparently you can do whatever you can get away with) and we generally had an amazing trip.

We drove a 2002 F250 diesel truck tuned with a new chip, air intake and exhaust, added air bags and new shocks as an upgrade. We carried a 2006 Lance truck camper with built in propane generator, wet bath, microwave, AC, etc. I freaking love this camper.

I’m sure there are other epic trips out there I’d like to hear about.
