In 1928, when Earnest Wilburn Peek began publishing the football guides of Franklin, Tennessee High School and Battle Ground Academy, he never dreamed that he was embarking on a life-long vocation. Nor did he anticipate in 1939 that his early printing efforts would evolve into the now famous PEEK’SIZE FOOTBALL GUIDE, that has been published in 28 states, (including Hawaii) with circulation numbers that swelled to more than 600,000 annually.
Rick talks with Earnest’s son, Les Peek this week. In it’s 81st year, it’s still being published today. Even with the internet and everyone carrying smartphones, the Peek’ Size is still relevant. Whether it be nostalgia or collectors. Great to talk with Les.
