Oberlin College and Conservatory
Class of 1968
What's New
I knew Leon because he was a regular at Warner on the basketball court in the afternoons. You can learn more about a person in half an hour of basketball than in half a year of going to class with them, and Leon was buena gente. The world will miss him.
Thanks, Don Salisbury. We just "observe" them now... we don't celebrate them!! LOL

Your comment about how Oberlin changed you described me almost exactly. I, too, was a Goldwater republican who had never been exposed to anything progressive while growing up.
I remember James from playing basketball at Warner just about every afternoon. A person's character is on open display during team sports like basketball, and his character was absolutely top notch. He was a really great person. I can understand why he would have been successful dealing with kids with attitude problems. It gives me a lot of pain to see that he is no longer with us.
