“We are searching for alumni,” Kinney said. “We know there are some college athletes, firemen, police officers, and maybe even United State Representative Rick Larsen,” Kinney said.
The Arlington Boys & Girls Club was founded in the early 1970s in downtown Arlington, occupying a couple of different buildings until the new club opened in 1993.
“I know for a fact that I played basketball at the club in 1973,” Kinney said.
