Thank you so much for telling me about your grandmother. I also love seeing pictures of sporting teams of long ago. Their uniforms are classic. To see your grandmother in the pictures would be fascinating. Did she play on one of the early teams? I wonder when they started offering women's basketball at this school.
We had the opportunity to drive through the Sandhills earlier this week. Every time, I am in awe of the beauty. Glad that you had a wonderful experience growing up.
This is so interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share your personal experiences with this location. Always interesting to see how the land changes over time.
Thank you so much for telling more. I have often wished that I could go inside the cabin. I would be interested in having a conversation with your mother if she is up for it. Please have her email me at odysseythroughnebraska@gmail.com I can give my phone number to her then.
I am so glad that you found this article. Did you ever get to meet your Grandfather? I wrote an additional article on his sculptures for our local area magazine. If you e-mail me at odysseythroughnebraska@gmail.com, I would be glad to send a link to you. I will hopefully be adding the link to this site at some point too!
Thank you for your encouraging words. My guess is that some of the people in charge must have felt that was a patriotic thing to do during the scrap metal drives of World War 2. I wonder if the sculptures had deteriorated a bit by then. I do think it is interesting that you can still see the basin part outside of the Lincoln Children's Zoo.
Thank you so much for sharing your part in Lincoln's history! The gates were a fun find for me. I definitely did not fully appreciate them until I uncovered some of the history. They add such a presence to the Memorial Stadium area.
