In 2004, I retired from my thirty year career at IBM. That’s when I began to write this true story focused on our close-knit Green Bay running group and the terrible tragedies that occurred in 1984. Sean Ryan, a race director for many of the runs up in Brown and Door County placed the following in his weekly training newsletters:
RUNNER AUTHORS SUSPENSEFUL TRUE STORY
In the 1970’s, Lynda and Jim Drews helped launch Green Bay’s running movement. Lynda has written a narrative non-fiction book about actual events which took place within their running group during the 1980’s. As runners, we feel a sense of familial trust towards those who we train with. Lynda’s book, Run at Destruction: A True Fatal Love Triangle, shows what happens when this trust is violated. Within the confines of Green Bay’s supportive running community, one person becomes a victim, one is the accused and another serves as the motive.

Lynda Drews. Titletown, $15.95 paperback (372p) ISBN 9780982000922
Runner and longtime Green Bay, Wis. resident Drews revisits the mid-1980s death of her close friend and fellow runner, popular high school teacher Pam Bulik. She chronicles the small community’s response to Pam’s death, suspicions of suicide that rang false, and the subsequent naming of Pam’s husband, Bob Bulik, as the primary suspect. Events, including Bob’s alleged affair, drag readers through the gruesome and tawdry details, some difficult to read (especially in descriptions of the victim). Like Melanie Thernstrom’s The Dead Girl, about the life and tragic death of her best friend, this title also relies on the strong bond between author and victim for emotional weight; passages about their shared moments, and Drews’s feelings of emptiness in the decades since, are remarkable. (Aug.)
