The Chicago Gay Hall of Fame is inducting 15 new members this year, including two for their work in the Chicago gay sports world:

Bob Gammie, 84, an active organizer and fundraiser since 1949, for his many years of community service, including being one of the first organizers of gay activities in non-bar settings, in particular the volleyball games in Lincoln Park that grew into the Lincoln Park Lagooners, which continues to flourish.
