It’s either a wonderful coincidence or a perfect scheme that has Spence Eccles and Tom Holmoe being honored at the Utah Sports Hall of Fame’s 50th anniversary celebration Monday.
A lifelong Utah man and a consummate BYU guy will join in an event that transcends the school rivalry.
Both figures have made life better for Utahns.
Eccles has been a tireless contributor to Ute athletics, as well as Beehive State cultural and charity endeavors. He attended the University of Utah, where he was an All-American skier. Little did he know he would one day have a stadium (Rice-Eccles) named after him.
