Carrying on his legacy ...

As part of the Friday, December 7 ceremony dedicating the Dave Schoeberlein Gym-
nasium in honor of the long-time teacher and Waukon girls basketball coach, those in
attendance were given the opportunity to further commemorate and carry on the influence
Mr./Coach Schoeberlein has had in their lives. The basketball on the left was available for
those in attendance to sign as a keepsake for the Schoeberlein family, while the golf balls
on the right are part of the “Deeds for Dave” movement through which others can become
a part of Mr./Coach Schoeberlein’s “ripple effect” of positively impacting the lives of others.
