PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — How did the sinful journey begin for a reluctant villain named Don Owen? What made the long trek through a dark wilderness so brutally rugged? Who was the beacon of hope when everything seemed murky on the trail ahead? What caused a spiritually deaf sinner to begin listening to the inaudible majesty of God? These questions are answered in Owen's memoirs, Inaudible Majesty . The book is on now on sale at amazon.com . Owen, a native of Northern Kentucky and a born-again Christian, spent four decades as a writer, media relations director and editor. He traveled all over the country. He met people from every part of the world. And Owen constantly searched for inner peace. "The more I told myself I'd succeeded at something, the more I realized I was a complete failure," said Owen, a 1980 graduate of Newport High School.

Note: From 1999-2009, the office of sports information designed and operated the NKU Athletics website. On Aug. 12, 2009, NKU launched a new website designed by Internet Consulting Services, a content-management platform provider that later became SIDEARM Sports. The original NKU Athletics website, however, was not maintained after 2014 and many links and images on the NKU server are missing.

No, he’s more of a reluctant landmark on the Highland Heights campus, a statue of adaptive perseverance and impassioned longevity. A nearly six-decade association with the NKU cross country program — both as a runner and head coach — has made Kruse a modern connection to the infancy of the athletics program. It wouldn’t be accurate to say he’s a walking history book, simply because Kruse’s best known in the area of running. And, in 26 years as cross country head coach, he’s built a program that’s successful both academically and athletically. The affable Kruse is also inconspicuously linked to Hollywood giants Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman from an NKU perspective. Ever hear of the Academy Award-winning movie “Rain Man” and a place called St. Anne Convent? Steve Kruse Having been around N...
