Whether in football or in the law, Illinois Supreme Court Justice
Robert Thomas has always had the "best view from the bench." Bob
Thomas got his start in football at the University of Notre Dame,
kicking for the famed "Fighting Irish" in the early 1970s. Claimed
off waivers by the Chicago Bears in 1975, Thomas helped to take the
franchise from their darkest days to their brightest. Yet, on the
cusp of the team's greatest moment, he was struck with a shocking
blow that challenged his fortitude. In this dramatic retelling of
Bob Thomas's fascinating life, renowned sports writer Doug Feldmann
shows how neither football nor the law was part of Thomas's dreams
while growing up the son of Italian immigrants in Rochester, New
York, in the 1960s. Chasing excellence on both the gridiron and in
the courtroom, however, would require resilience in ways he could
not have imagined. As A View from Two Benches shows us, Bob Thomas
reached the top of two separate and distinct professions, guided by
a bedrock of faith that has impacted his decisions and actions as
both a football player and a judge, helping him navigate the peaks
and valleys of life. As Doug Feldmann reveals, Bob Thomas has
always stayed true to the values he learned in his earliest days.
Doug Feldmann's rich biography of an accomplished kicker and a
proud justice of the law shows us that determination and resilience
go a long way to a successful and impactful life.
