Dick Snider
Richard "Dick" Snider Sr. (March 20, 1921 – November 20, 2004) was an American newspaper columnist, oil executive, television producer, and founder of NCAA Films (now called NCAA Productions). He is most widely known for his humor column in the Topeka Capital-Journal, and he was campaign manager for former University of Oklahoma football coach Bud Wilkinson's failed 1964 US Senate campaign. He later joked that "We were never ahead despite Bud having 95 percent name recognition in the state. Man, I could make people forget Santa Claus."〔("Columnist Dick Snider Dies at 85" )〕
==Early life==
Snider was born on March 20, 1921 in Oakwood, Oklahoma, where his father, Daniel William Snider, owned a pharmacy. As a young boy, he and his family were forced to leave Oakwood by the Ku Klux Klan, who burned a cross on their lawn for being Roman Catholic.〔("Snide, Snider, Snidest", 2001 )〕 He attended St. Gregory's High School in Shawnee, OK, and went on to study at Oklahoma State University and Columbus School of Law. After briefly working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he served in the United States Navy during World War II teaching aircraft mechanics.〔("Obituary: Dick Snider", 2004 )〕
