Gary Lewis!!!
It's Memorial Day weekend.
Memorial Day started just after the Civil War, & called Declaration Day. Civil war General John Logan started it,trying to help bring the Country together.
It became a Federal holiday in 1971. Prior to that it was honored on different days by different states. This day honors the dead who fought for our freedom.
Many, as I do, reflect on passed loved ones or whatever comes to mind to reflect on.
Among others, I'm reflecting on Gary. I know he hasn't passed on.
Our local Disc Golf is huge. Many may not know, but Gary is Mr. Disc Golf in our area. Running tournaments, working on courses, meeting the needs of the local golfers. Meeting with different officials in different community's promoting Disc Golf. He did this year after year. There is much more, the details are over the top.
It's not uncommon when I bump into older players who name drop Gary Lewis. It confirms his impact he's had over the years.
Gary is an icon to Disc Golf with great humility & reserve. My hat's off to you Gary, this Memorial Day weekend.
