If it feels like Chet Coppock has been everywhere lately, you are not imagining things. Here are a few highlights from the first few weeks of Chet’s publicity tour…
Robert Feder was the first to write about it in the Daily Herald…
People who have read Chet Coppock’s fifth and latest book say it’s his most thoughtful and introspective yet. Your Dime, My Dance Floor: Chet Coppock in Pursuit of Chet Coppock, published by Rick Kaempfer and David Stern’s Eckhartz Press, features numerous stories about the sportscaster’s athletic heroes. But it also includes reflections on life decisions he has made, career bridges he has burned, and the difficulties he has encountered as a father and husband.
A few highlights from the sold-out jam-packed Chester W Coppock book event in Arlington Heights. A few members of Chet’s boyquarium (Steve & Garry’s nickname for Chet’s bevy of producers) came out to surprise him (L-R: Mike Davis, Jim Modelski, and Tom Serritella. Also, I thought this was clever. Doug Bensing paid for Chet’s book “Your Dime, My Dance Floor” with actual dimes. In addition, I didn’t get a picture of this, but Dobie Maxwell drove in all the way from Wisconsin to give Chet a 1971 Bucks championship mug because Chet was a producer for the radio broadcasts of that team. What a fun night. Chet was really touched by all the good will and positive vibes. Thank you everyone who came out!
Chet made a memorable appearance on Windy City Live as well. Watch the video here. I took a few behind the scenes pictures there too…
We also have a few behind the scenes shots of Chet Coppock’s appearance on the Steve Dahl show. It was fun hearing the two old friends reminisce and chat about Chet’s new Eckhartz Press book “Your Dime, My Dance Floor: Chet Coppock in Pursuit of Chet Coppock”.
When the Bears season started and Chet attended his 68th consecutive home opener, he created a new Book/Bears/Brews event. The first one was in Blue Island. Here are a few shots from that appearance…
Of course, the tour is just beginning. If you’d like Chet to appear at your bar or restaurant, contact us here at Eckhartz Press and we may be able to make that happen. (Rick@eckhartzpress.com)
