What's your Gym-Story?

Hi everyone!

I just saw a new article on rva.org about the replacement of the gym floor. Wouldn't it be great to be involved in helping replace it? I have so many memories of events in that gym - indoor soccer with other station kids, numerous basketball and volleyball games watched and played, badminton during PE, Jr. Store and Sr. Store days, studie and late studie, and we even experienced church and chapel in the gym!

My favorite (if you can call it that) memory of the gym is the one time I accidently turned off the gym lights when I meant to turn on the field lights. You can't even imagine the terror that I felt as I heard the boys who were playing in there sprint around the corner to punish whatever underclassman who thought it'd be a funny joke. They sounded like a heard of buffalo! Fortunately, they were forgiving and did not beat me up...but I learned my lesson - be VERY careful which light switch you choose!

Here's part of the article, but you can read the whole thing here.
