a good day, part 1

One gym, then another - our list grows shorter and longer at the same time.  With more than 200 gyms photographed we seem to have developed a rhythm, a way to approach research, contact and actual photography.  Some days are just days, while others bring a smile to our faces.  This day was one of those.  You see, whenever an elementary embraces the use of an old high school gym good things usually happen and at Holland, the former home of the Dutchmen, preservation and a nod to history is on full display.  Dale, a few miles to the south and a timezone away was saved by the community and now is open to all.  The old center court, photographs and memorabilia keep the story of the Aces alive & well.  And then, before day's end, former Winslow Eskimo and elementary principal Ritch Luker opens the door to another monument to Hoosier Hysteria.  Two hundred gyms and counting, this journey to document our state's heritage often brings one good day after another.  CGS.
