My pops worked his final regular season varsity double header tonight and was recognized between games at Marshalltown (the town where he grew up). He worked high school basketball in the state of Iowa for 40+ years. Proud of his service and career in the stripes.

Lots to take in w this photo. First I’m thankful to have learned from him every weekend. He taught me how to be a good person during our reffing days. Second, fun to see 3 generations of Blum now reffing. Sounds like Ethan loves it. Last, is that Perry Meyer on the scoreboard?
