The cover appeared in my column about 12 years ago . . . the topic was sport vs hobby.

I like ALL your Ohio content. Keep it coming. :)

I wasn't quite around for the 1955 CBC but that same year birdwatching actually made the COVER of Sports Illustrated! Bob, perhaps you've seen the issue: May 16, 1955. I would love to attach an image of that cover but don't see that option here.

Interestingly, Jeff, I came across that cover after I wrote this piece! The definition of "sports" back then may have been very different, or at least what SI was willing to cover.
