Annette G Ahlmann (1956)

Coach was a mentor to many of us, showing us the value of inner strength accompanied by a gentle and caring demeanor. His humor sparkled in any situation, and he embraced life with a joy that was infectious. He died in May, 2010, but lives on in our hearts.

Gerald Schnoll (Jerry Schnoll) (1963)

Was  very  sad  to  hear of  his  passing. Talked to  him  ,July,2001, at coach  Ahl's  funeral.Was  in his 80s then. very same  man  who in his 40s  helped me  with  my great  love  of High School years , track.Never  forget he  ran down those  hallways  with  us, and at 40  that was  more than  admirable. heard  in later years  from  my track buddy  Chris  Mihas that  Leo  was  a  very brave  soldier,as was  coach  Ahl.

We  were  in the opresence  of  heroes for all  those  years and  never  knew  it. 

 

Honored to  be  in his and  their  presence- enriched  our  lives. jerry schnoll
