   In the Spring of 1981 the P.S.D. Sports Hall of Fame committee was formed by the Alumni Association. The idea was first conceived by Mr. Pinky Kahn, a non-alumnus, a few years back. Dr. Basch was appointed by then Alumni President, Randy Fisher, To head a special committee to formalize plans for this special events. The first annual induction ceremony was held at the P.S.D. Sports Banquet on May 18, 1982 at Gilpin Hall.
