Not sure what to say?

David was my writing teacher in my senior year at Solebury in 1976...he was a wonderful teacher and person. He helped me discover some confidence in myself. I loved him and never really got thank him for all he offered.

My condolences to Polly, and the whole family. I know he will be kept in your hearts forever.

Mr Leshan was a great teacher. I will always have fond memories of him

Remember him well at Solebury. Wish there were more like him.

David Leshan was a most prominent individual in my Solebury School experience during the 1960s. To this day I retain strong memories of writing an essay about the Haymarket Riot of 1886 for his 11th grade English class. David provided strong support as the head of boarding boys on the Solebury campus during my Junior year.

Mr. Leshan was one of my favorite English teachers at GA. He will be missed.
