Jim Leighty
Class of 1957
“I can think of no one more deserving for all he has done as an athlete, and for athletes, during his years as a coach and teacher. He has dedicated his life to developing young people to be leaders with great integrity and not just to winning at all costs. During his business career he continued to coach and teach many who worked under his supervision. Among these individuals, those who practiced his principles of leadership and salesmanship, moved to top management positions. Upon his retirement several dozen of his business associates paraphrased Jim’s favorite quote, “If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you won’t”. The beloved coach was then presented with an award which said, “If you think you can, you can”. Jim – You Did! Thanks for your outstanding leadership! - Marilyn Leighty
