I remember his class on the first Earth Day ...

I was privileged to have Coleman Leuthy as my high school chemistry and geology teacher. My interest in the sciences grew and blossomed from his influence. We fondly thought of him as a sort of combined incarnation of Albert Einstein and Groucho Marx. Although I only saw him again a few times after high school, I will always remember him and those memories will be fondly attached to the joys of learning, of science, of discovery and of the wonder of nature. When asked "Who was my favorite teacher?" my answer, without hesitation, is always Coleman Leuthy.

Coleman Leuthy was the reason that I went on to study biochemistry at the UW. He was my high school chemistry teacher at Nathan Hale circa~1975. He was an inspiration to me in many more ways than just chemistry. His patient and enthusiastic teaching style deeply influenced my own. He was a teacher in the grand tradition. I will think of him for the rest of my life while teaching.

Colman and I met in a history class at Lincoln High School in 1947. We were each in service clubs and taught each other how to run the movie projectors and the P.A. system. After h.s. our ways parted until about 1995. A phone call renewed the friendship and during many visits we related to each other our careers, hobbies, and travels. Colman was a most interesting person I will always remember.

I met him through the Seattle Mountaineers. While he did a lot of climbing in his younger days, it was while he shared his knowledge of botany that I knew him best. We often went over to his ranch near Levenworth to study the wild flowers. My last memory of him was at this 80th birthday party at the ranch. We all had a wonderful time.

Coleman was a great friend from about 1970. If interested, I've written a PSMS tribute to Cole that will appear in the March issue of Spore Prints, available on-line @ psms.org at the beginning of March. Brian S. Luther
