Ed Plopa, CPA
On October 2, 1970 the Wichita State Football team boarded 2 planes, the Black & the Gold, to go play Utah State.\xa0 The Black plane made it, the Gold plane crashed in the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver. \xa0It is an American tragedy. \xa0Ed Plopa was a Freshman on that team. \xa0He was recruited from Pennsylvania to come play for the Shockers. \xa0Ed was over-joyed to earn a scholarship to play football. \xa0The plane crash happened. \xa0Ed could have called it quits as a Shocker. \xa0He persevered, fulfilled his scholarship and made Wichita his home. \xa0His successful career and life after the crash is my honor to bring to you on the ictpodcast.\xa0
