Ron Maly has been a professional writer and author for more than half a century. He is a four-time Sportswriter of the Year in the state of Iowa, and he's the author of the best-selling book, "Tales from the Iowa Sidelines," which chronicles the rich football tradition at the University of Iowa. Not only was the hard-cover edition of the book a best-seller, so was the revised, soft-cover edition. Ron is a charter member of the Wall of Fame in the Kinnick Stadium press box at Iowa City. The Wall of Fame honors members of the media who covered athletics at the University of Iowa. These days, Ron writes about anything that interests him.
