Back in the golden age of football, before the big, multi-million dollar contracts, and prescription turf, Baltimore Colt and Hall of Fame tackle Art Donovan was one of the all-time gridiron greats. But what most people don't know is his connection to professional boxing. Art's grandfather, Professor Mike O' Donovan (the O' was dropped later) was the middleweight champion of the world and sparring partner of President Teddy Roosevelt. His father, Arthur Donovan, Sr. was a high caliber referee who refereed twenty of Joe Louis' fights including both Schmelling fights.All three generations of Donovans are in their respective Hall of Fame: Mike and Arthur Donovan, Sr. are in the International Boxing Hall of Fame and Art Donovan, Jr. is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now this gridiron legend speaks his mind in this entertaining and hilarious account of how it really was 'back in the day' in the professional sports of boxing and football.Donovan's recollection of the 'good ol' days' is as close as most of us will ever get to sitting ringside, or sitting on the team bench and listening to the greats talk about the legendary wars and warriors of boxing's and football's golden years.

In 1951 the University of San Francisco football team (the Dons) went undefeated and untied. Yet, despite being among the best college football teams of all time, the squad was not invited to play in a post season bowl game because two of its players were African-American. The team was offered the chance to compete without the players, but they unanimously refused on principle. "The story of the 1951 University of San Francisco football team is a remarkable tale. I heard Pete Rozelle talk about it many times. It is a story that transcends football into the realm of the human spirit. I know it made a lasting impression on Pete, and the team clearly had a major impact on the NFL." -Paul Tagliabue - NFL Commissioner

In May of 1977 I had reached all of life's goals I had set for myself. I had a wonderful husband, two beautiful, healthy children, a boy and recently a girl, and a career as a college physical education instructor. I lived in a typical, suburban neighborhood with a station wagon and a dog. I was financially stable - the world was at my feet. My only problem was an annoying cough that for some reason wouldn't go away. A month later I would find that my perfect world was about to be shattered. In fact, it had come crashing down upon me. I was diagnosed with Stage IV of Hodgkin's Disease, lymphatic cancer, and was told that at that time that I had only three months to live. Suddenly I was faced with the challenge of a lifetime. I underwent major surgery, massive radiation treatments, grueling chemotherapy and worst of all ten months of blindness. Through it all I refused to let the disease get the better of me, continuing to participate fully in my life as a wife, mother and career woman. To me, humor and staying in good physical shape would become the two most important components for facing this insidious enemy. From diagnosis through recovery and on to a rich rewarding transformed life, Death Was Never An Options! is a straightforward and honest, often moving and surprisingly funny look into a andid account of a battle with cancer and loss of sight. Moments of fear, frustration, embarrassment, love, and joy are captured on each page. Approaching every obstacle with optimism and humor, this story celebrates life and the ultimate triumph of a passionate and determined woman. Most of us either know someone who has had cancer or have experienced the frightening disease ourselves. It is now possible to take a humorous look at a serious subject with a happy ending. Death Was Never An Option! is an inspirational chronicle of one woman's determination and perseverance through a life-threatening experience. As the author I feel that this story conveys a unique, personal perspective into the insidious disease to which we all are prey. The ability to learn about, acknowledge and defy the cancer shines through what would otherwise be a dark journey. I recommend this story to all who need encouragement and hope.
