Nice article. I wasn’t familiar with him.
Mark Montieth does it again. After getting over my initial embarrassment at having never heard of Greg Bell before, I was able to settle into a wonderful piece of writing about an incredible human being. Greg Bell’s only regret was not being able to show his high school English teacher his degree from IU. I now add to my long list of regrets the regret of never having met and spent time with Greg Bell. Well done, Mark.
Sad to say, this is the first I have seen or heard of Greg Bell. His accomplishments deserved greater recognition, so thank you Mark for bringing this story to light and your work in covering Indiana sports is exemplary.
A true hero. I am saddened that he wasn’t fully recognized and appreciated for his achievements while he was alive, but that happens, and I know that his reward in heaven will be great. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story!
