Long before Susie Woodhams, Emily Jones and Gina Miller graced our local TV sportscasts, sportswriter Marjorie Lewis blazed a DFW media trail for them.
Best sure to tune in to PressBox DFW Live! this week, when Marjorie will be our special guest to talk about her best-selling book, When the Men Were Gone, and about her years as the first female beat reporter to cover Tom Landry’s Cowboys for the local newspapers.
She was a great writer then and she still is. When the Men Were Gone, based upon the inspiring true story of Tylene Wilson, who became a Texas football coach during the war years, was named to Sports Illustrated’s “Best of Books” list and was chosen as one of Newsweek’s “Best Books of 2019 So Far.”
Our weekly video podcast PressBox DFW Live! will air at noon Tuesday. Watch (or listen to) it live on Facebook (on the PressBoxDFW page) or catch it archived here for later viewing.
