Sherman Gym, but we call it Walker
Michigan Tech Lode, February 18, 2009
Dan Boyer
"In the early '80s, shortly before most current Tech undergraduates were born, the building at the east end of the Campus all was Sherman Gym, an empty shell awaiting its extensive remodeling into the Walker Arts & Humanities Center, with which we are familiar. But Sherman Gym is not merely lost to history..." PDF ARCHIVE

"I remembered seeing Deodato in the old Sherman Gym, Arlo Guthrie, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes in a guitar battle with Mike Pinera of Cactus. I remembered missing Muddy Waters, who I heard jammed after the concert with students (any truth to that rumor?). How about Bruce Springsteen trying to come up here but canceling at the last minute?" |

"I was at the Louis Armstrong and Kingston Trio concert, too. In fact, I had a front row seat for the Kingston Trio who played in the old Sherman Gym then. I'm still a fan and still have their LPs. Satchmo was there the year before & the year after the Trio. What 'impressed' me then was that he told the exact same jokes in the second concert that I had heard in the first concert 2 years before!" |
