“We were so honored, you could have knocked us over with a feather,” owner of Gainesville’s Gem Jewelry Linda Orenstein said. That was the reaction of Orenstein and her sister, Temme Schooler, who run the business together today, when approached by football coaches of Gainesville High and West Hall High on April 28 with a totally unexpected surprise announcement. The Spartans’ coach, Tony Lotti, and Red Elephants’ coach, Bruce Miller, brought in a banner to the business located on the downtown square with the naming of their 2016 game in honor of their father, Marvin Orenstein, a long-time ardent supporter of high school sports for all the schools in Hall County.
