I hated everything Linn-Mar until I started playing in summer baseball leagues and tournaments with kids from their elementary and middle schools. I ended up making some of the best friends I’ve ever had. It’s a great school with resources galore. There are deep pockets. Those are attributes that outsiders always hate. It’s sure fun to be a part of though!
I went to Marion HS in the late 70's. Linn Mar kids were all thought to be spoiled asses. Marion was old school "Old Marion"...Linn Mar was the cross town upstart rich bitch Collins kids.
As I began working 1978 and after, and meeting them, I discovered it was not true as a rule. My now lifelong friends I still keep in regular touch with...all Linn Mar graduates.
