I was one of Mr. Farkas’ gymnasts
I was one of Mr. Farkas’ gymnasts. I love this man with all my heart and soul. Sure he was hard on us but he had a lot of love for us, too. Some of the best times of my life were when I was on the Jamestown YMCA Gymnastics Team. I’ll never forget all the times he made us feel stupid when we couldn’t master a trick and he could still do them - even with his fake leg. The best time was when it went flying off when he got on the trampoline. He laughed, we laughed. That was Mr. Farkas.
The additional financial assistance of the community is critical to the success of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame.
We gratefully acknowledge these individuals and organizations for their generous support.
