The book examines the history of sports in Oshkosh. It includes stories of basketball, baseball, football, bowling and golf and by those who played the game. It is also about the past, a time slowly receding in our memories. The story of the Oshkosh All Stars is the featured story. It was our own professional basketball team that brought home the World Professional Basketball Championship in 1942. It’s also a story of Lonnie Darling and its featured player, Leroy “Lefty” Edwards. Edwards was considered the best player of his time and helped carry the name of Oshkosh throughout the country. There other story lines as well. Oshkosh has a long history of amateur and professional baseball and those stories are an integral part of the book as is the city’s bowling history and three of its finest performers. The current controversy over the land usage on the city’s municipal golf course sold recently to the Oshkosh Truck Corporation leads to a number of stories about the history of the Lakeshore Golf Course and the impact it has had on many who played there. Oshkosh is not Green Bay but has its own football story. The book features the Oshkosh Comets and four from our city who played for the Green Bay Packers. A book on the history of Oshkosh sports would be incomplete without including two resident Olympians. Their stories, unknown to many, are told here.

Growing up in a depression-wracked small Wisconsin city, John Livingstone, craving adventure, escaped to the outside world by enlisting in the U.S. Army. He became "a tiny cog in a well-oiled killing machine," General Patton's Third Army. At war's end in Europe he faced another set of adversaries: deserters and black marketeers as an army criminal investigations agent in London and Paris. Three tumultuous years followed at the University of Wisconsin, culminating in a B.A. in International Relations and an invitation to join the Central Intelligence Agency in June, 1950. After a year-long bout with the Polish language at Presidio of Monterey, California, Livingstone served as an intelligence officer in Central Europe. In 1954 he returned to civilian life and established a photography and public relations business in Carmel. In 1967 he earned a master's degree in Spanish Literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Residence and travel in Europe from 1969 on enabled him to amass an extensive collection of documentary photos of the life and times of the people of Europe, resulting in a retrospective exhibition, "Fifty Years Behind the Lens" which included prize-winning prints previously exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution and the Pentagon. A pictorial book captioned in five languages, Carmel by Itself - Portrait of a Unique American Community by John Livingstone was published in 1982. Livingstone is presently completing a manuscript for a book entitled Katyusha and Grisha, the Liaison of Catherine the Great and Potemkin.
