Tom LeProwse was a man who loved to tell stories. One of the tales he told most was set in August 1947, when he kicked off at the inaugural East-West Shrine Game and then ran down the field to make the tackle on the same play. After the game, he got married.

The stories of his life all have a common theme: Tom LeProwse was dedicated to being where he needed to be.
