Over the years Dennis has interviewed a number of politicians and celebrities, including Jesse Ventura, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Abbie Hoffman, Jeno Paulucci, Muhammad Ali, Cher, Jerry Lewis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Johnny Cash. Inside, Denny recalls these stories and many others against the backdrop of his personal lifegrowing up on the Iron Range and becoming an avid outdoorsman, dedicated family man, private pilot, and Catholic Deacon. Along the way he shares the insights that come from a life spent on the air and looks ahead to his future and the future of regional broadcast journalism.

Written by Duluth News Tribune columnist Chuck Frederick, Leatherheads of the North tells the fascinating story of Ernie Nevers and the Duluth Eskimos, the team NFL president Joe Carr said saved the NFL and legendary Chicago Bears coach George Halas called the greatest football team ever put together. Frederick takes readers down on the field, inside the locker room, and outside the stadium to share the teams notorious on and off the field exploits, from the early years sponsored by Kelley-Duluth Hardware through their storied 1926-1927 barnstorming season and beyond.

Within his photography is a love for Duluth and its all-encompassing, four-season beauty.” ― Photographer Jay Steinke, from his introduction “Ice and light, waves and wildlife, bridges and boats.... With an artist’s eye, Dennis O’Hara has captured the essence of Duluth. I look at these remarkable images and think, ‘Yes. This is why I live here.’” ― Sam Cook, Duluth News-Tribune

Discover what Duluth has lost. Through over 400 photographs and sketches of vanished homes, buildings, landmarks, industries, and residential neighborhoods, Lost Duluth takes readers on a journey through the city’s past, introducing them to the people―from hard-scrabble pioneers to wealthy industrialists to impoverished immigrant laborers―whose ambitions and dreams built the Zenith City on a swamp and a rocky hillside at the head of the Great Lakes. A finalist for the Minnesota Book Award. “Duluth has always been a city like none other in the Midwest, with an architectural history as distinctive as its steep hills, rushing creeks and lakeside vistas. Lost Duluth offers a beautifully illustrated look at some of the city’s most prominent vanished buildings, from grand Victorian mansions and row houses to monumental works of public and commercial architecture. This book will make you pine for the city of old while opening your eyes to unimagined wonders, and even life-long residents will be surprised to find how much has been lost on the destructive road to progress.” ― Larry Millett, author of Lost Twin Citiesand Once There Were Castles
