More Hometown Memories of Grinnell, Iowa Dave Adkins

As a student of local history, I find Dave's stories of old Grinnell very fascinating. We who lived in this era of the 40s, 50s, and 60s have some interesting things to share with others about "our town" and its people. His broad knowledge continues to amaze me. How he remembers so much from 50-70 years ago and is able to record it for the rest of us to enjoy is wonderful. If he wants to expand on a topic of which he is unfamiliar, he knows the right person to contact. Yes, he lives in Texas, but he contacts friends all over to help expand on his topics. Dave's knowledge and expertise in basketball continued from his first book "A Journey in Overseas Basketball"written in 1997 through the first edition of "Home Town Memories of Grinnell, Iowa in 2012 and now into the sequel of"More Hometown Memories of Grinnell, Iowa"
