Gym of Dreams

After my post of Sad Sahd... An alumni from GHS made a comment about probably the most disappointing lost opportunity in Gladstone Brave sports history.

In 1990 the UP did not recognize men's gymnastics as a sport, yet Gladstone had arguably one of the best male gymnast in David Fletcher. David is the picture of dedication. Knowing he would never be allowed to compete it never stopped him from training with the women's team, hoping for a chance to dance.

David tried to fill the void the the theatre... butt it wasn't the stage he was destine for......

That was a beautiful commentary Rich, you truly are a master of narrative. It almost brought a tear to my eye. But, don't forget about his stint as a UWGB cheerleaders and making the local news by cheering at a Green Bay Fudge Packer game.
