In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness, Jackson encountered a drug addict sleeping under a bridge. The homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the eye and said, "You ought to do a story about me." When Jackson asked why, he was stunned by the answer. "Because I've played in three Super Bowls." Jackie Wallace was a former NFL star who rose to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, only to crash and lose it all. Here Jackson describes the details of how Wallace spiraled into addiction and homelessness-- and of the thirty-year relationship the two developed. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.33209 Wallace Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.33209 Wallacce Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.33209 Wallace Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 796.33209 Wallace Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Wallace Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
