John Marshall Legler

In preparation for my nursing degree, i took human anatomy from Dr. Legler. I believe that his class was one of two favorites of two BS degrees. He taught me something I use to this day in public speaking and teaching in various settings. He said that he liked to tell you what he was going to teach that day, proceed to teach it and then tell you what he had taught.
In the process of this class, I became friends with the teaching assistant. With him, I was invited to dinner at the...

Dr. Legler is one of the main reasons I am a physical therapist today. I was hired as an Anatomy lab assistant from out of state. Along with Dr Legler's letter of recommendation, the tuition pay for working in the lab and his love of teaching anatomy. He also came to visit my husband and I in Hawaii during a swim meet. I will miss him. Sincerely,

Austin, I just wanted to let you know how much John meant to me. I assisted in his care for several years and he made me believe in what I do meant something to him. John gave me several opportunities to show him that I would be there when he needed me and I was glad I was....he helped me fine tune my medical skills often. I feel blessed to be able to call him my friend above all and I will truly miss him.
