The Tootsie Roll Kid, E.P. Baruth
Monday, April 11, 2011
With the coming of spring, and the announcement by the Knights of Columbus of their Annual Tootsie Roll Drive to aid "The Arc" (the Association for Retarded Citizens) and the local SWATS (Southwest Area Training Services) workshop, thoughts of E.P. Baruth, a great humanitarian and sports legend, came flooding back -- McCook's original "Tootsie Roll Kid."
