Beach volleyball — a San Diego thing One gray winter morning in 1997, about this time of year, I was working on the old Federal Building in Balboa Park. We were beginning the demo for the new Hall of Champions project. As the demo crew started disman- tling the floor system, I was given the task of saving the best of the tongue-and-groove hardwood court. The 1984 and 1988 gold-medal Olympic volley-
ball team used to train there. I found jump charts and names (Kiraly, Timmons, Waldie), some jumps over 11 feet. I found the gauge, an L-shaped bracket with one-inch leather strips hanging down in one-half-inch graduations. In 1996, beach volleyball became an Olympic sport.
