As legend has it, Paul Durham, who was UH's athletic director at the time, noticed there was construction on the Lower Campus. He asked what was going on. He was told they were building what was the original UH baseball stadium.
The tradition of quiet, but effective work, continues, this time in UH softball.
Led by the father of second baseman Richie-Anne Titcomb, the players' parents built what amounts to a small condo underneath the first-base stands at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
The three-room structure has a cooking area, an entertainment room (complete with a newly installed wide-screen TV), and a training room.
There's central air-conditioning.
One of the rooms offers a field-level view.
Best of all, it came at no cost to the university. Richard Titcomb's construction company donated the supplies and built the structure.
In two weeks.
Former UH men's volleyball coach Alan Rosehill donated the wood flooring.
The parents cook and prepare the post-game spread.
Again, at no cost to the university.
Well, except for the electricity.
Maybe the softball program should be the example when UH looks for ways to complete the third-floor wing.
