“We lived for the lights to come on in the gym,” Vic Wilson said as he drove through the New Holland mill village where he grew up. He was a “MilliKid,” a child of parents who worked at the Milliken textile mill just east of Gainesville. The gym was in the New Holland Recreation Center, a multipurpose building built by the company in 1921.
