Aplington-Parkersburg coach Ed Thomas shot to death | GazetteOnline.com - Cedar Rapids, Iowa City
Ed Thomas got a fair bit of fame as coach. He produced several NFL players from the tiny high school he coached at for more than 30 years.
When a tornado levelled the town last year, he was looked to as a rock, and his influence was noted by not just the local media, but ESPN and the New York Times.
Police have not released a motive. Rumors are swirling, but in the end, it’s nothing more than senseless, another example of man’s blind indifference to his fellow man.
