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.
