(Shepherd Bookstore to host book signing April 12)

Shepherdstown, WV--The Shepherd University Bookstore will host a book signing for 10 to 4 Brett Favre's Journey from Rotten Bayou to the Top of the NFL written by former Shepherd coach Mark McHale on Saturday, April 12 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Bookstore.

McHale is a Shepherd alumnus and Winchester, Virginia, native. As a coach at the University of Southern Mississippi, he was responsible for recruiting a then-unknown Favre and signing him with the last available scholarship. At Shepherd, McHale was a three-year starter on the offensive line and after graduating in 1973, returned as an assistant coach of the Rams from 1975-79.

The signing will be followed by Blue and Gold spring scrimmage game at 1 p.m. The game will be played on the new field turf.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and all proceeds go to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. For more information, contact the Bookstore at 304/876-5219 or visit www.shepherdbook.com.
