Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
Danielle Heineman, a runner, knew she had to do something in response to the abduction and murder of Eliza Fletcher. So she is inviting women to join her at 4:20 a.m. Friday to finish Eliza’s run.
