per Reusse:
“We talked for 10 minutes. I could tell from that conversation that he was a terrific young man, with the attitude to lead a team. When I read a story recently about how the Gophers are rallying around Mitch as their quarterback, I wasn’t surprised at all.”
There was a big surprise for Steve Frederickson, now 60, last December. He was discovered to have a leaky valve in his heart. He was set for surgery at Christmastime. Pirsig told Leidner about Steve’s predicament — and again there was a call to Blue Earth.
“Mr. Frederickson seemed like a really nice guy, and I just wanted to wish him the best,” Leidner said.
All is well. Steve is back painting houses (all old coaches in rural Minnesota are house painters in the summer) and waiting for the start of the Gophers season.
“I’m optimistic, about Mitch as the quarterback, about Jonah showing what he can do, about the whole team,” Steve said. “I’d like to get up there to see a game this fall and meet Mitch in person.”
