Did you know Evanston once had a YMCA?

EVANSTON — How many people in Evanston know that, once upon a time, there was a YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) in the community? Gary Vernieuw, keynote speaker at the Uinta County Museum’s brown bag lunch series, held Aug. 3 at the Beeman-Cashin building, was born in that YMCA building and lived there for 22 years. Vernieuw shared his memories of those years to an enthusiastic audience. Many in the audience remembered the YMCA and shared their own memories in an active discussion with Vernieuw.
