Bryan has been working hard for some time to develop an athletic hall of fame for Ephrata in an effort to recognize past success, celebrate tradition, and encourage current Tigers to strive for excellence. He has been part of creating a Booster Club and organizing donations. It has been hours of work. Days. Months of planning. And on Saturday evening, it went off beautifully!
I played a small role - helping to write bios and serving hors d'oeuvres. It was fun to hear people enjoying what I think of as Bryan's event.
Bryan introduced the inductees. There were 12 individuals and one team recognized, spanning the years from 1959 to 1991. Some were his idols as a child, many were our teachers and coaches.
One was his dad.
He did a nice job not being overcome with emotion - and Dave owned the stage as only Dave can do!
Of course Dianne was here to help celebrate her brother.
The evening was a resounding success. Will there be changes next time? Some. Overall, people were touched to be remembered, pleased by the classy event, and helpful in putting it all together. Proud to be a part of our community!
