The Christmas edition (December) of the Gary Interstate is posted to the www.experiencegarysd.com website. Enjoy the stories by GHA members as they recall spending the holidays when they were younger.

The Gary Historical Association would appreciate your memories of growing up in Gary or any school stories that come into your mind. There is always space in the Gary Interstate and it would be great to collect them for next year's 150th Celebration. We all have stories to tell and the rest of us enjoy reading them. Please send them to [email protected].
