Synopsis :

For more than 50 years, Fred Kroner’s name has been a recognizable one for newspaper readers throughout Central Illinois.In his career as a writer and editor, Kroner worked at four different daily newspapers, primarily with the sports department at the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette.During those years, he documented the exploits of thousands of athletes, ranging from those in high school to ones in colleges as well as the few fortunate ones from his coverage area who made it professionally.After years of writing about others, Kroner undertook a look at someone he knew well: Himself.His seventh book – titled From the Heart to the Heartland – is an autobiographical narrative that is an open and honest look at his life and the events that helped to shape the person he became.It’s a unique opportunity to get an upclose look at the person who is generally known simply through his byline.Readers hoping to find a recapitulation of games, scores and statistics from his time on the sidelines will be disappointed.Instead, Kroner focused on the people who impacted him in a career that will have resulted in three Hall of Fame inductions by the end of 2020.In the book’s final pages, Kroner shares dozens of original poems that he has written. It’s a passion he has held for decades, yet one which he limited to his personal files until now.Unwilling to fully retire, Kroner continues to write regularly for the online Mahomet Daily, where he supplements sports stories with an assortment of people-oriented profiles.
