Paul was a tight end for the Argonauts, Blue Bombers and for the eskimos for a season.Anyhow it turns out he is one of my Profs.After football he went on to being marketing manager for the Toronto Blue Jays for 15 years . After which Mr Sherwood Schwarz hired him but then fired him in 3 months.Anyhow He had some really good stories about Mr Schawrz.He is also good friends with the current ownership group.

I remember tight end Paul Markle.He broke into the CFL with the Argos in & around 1968 & came to the Bombers along with qb Don Jonas in May 1971 for center Paul Desjardins & another player that I can't remember.He immediately established himself as a reliable pass catcher & helped elevate Winnipeg from last place in 1970 with 2 wins to a playoff spot in 1971 with 7 wins. Markle was a reliable pass catcher.Not flashy but reliable nonetheless.He was part of a potent Bomber receiving corp which included Winnipegger Bobby Kraemer along with Peter Ribbins who split duties at slot, Jim Thorpe at flanker & Bob Larose at split end. Tell Paul that he is still remembered by long time Bomber fans & that he was appreciated as a player.

Graduates can work with sport teams, sports associations like Soccer Canada and the Canadian Ringette Association and non-profit organizations like United Way and Ronald McDonald House, says professor Paul Markle.

He points to positions like sponsorship co-ordinators as key in the industry today."Sponsorship is about more than paying a fee and having a team wear your logo.It's about getting involved with the spectators and fans," says Markle, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays.
