Odds are he is Bill's son. In Leck's obituary it mentioned his surviving children, with a "Larry" being one..

No mention of where he's originally from on Citadel site. Just curious, because if he is they have Higgins, Cichinni (?) and now Leckonby. Could be playing Lehigh of the South in near future

Not the first time The Citadel has been over-run by Yankees! (;-)

Quote:
Larry Leckonby was named athletic director of The Citadel last week, something that would make his father very proud, even though he wasn’t much for moving around.

“The first time I called my father and told him I was moving from Boston University to Old Dominion, the phone was silent for a second,” Leckonby recalled. “Then he said, ‘Why would you want to do that?’

“That was the first time it really dawned on me that he’d spent his entire career at Lehigh, from the time he got out of the Navy in World War II until he retired in 1984, some 38 years at the same school.”

It was during those times in Bethlehem, Pa., that Larry Leckonby grew up, playing in the locker rooms, training rooms and rooting for Lehigh teams at his daddy’s school.

“He would literally take me to school and leave me,” Leckonby said. “I had free run of the place. I was the ball boy and the bat boy. I didn’t know it at the time, but everybody didn’t grow up like that.”

Not everybody did, but it sure had an impact on Leckonby, who has followed in his father’s footsteps of athletic administration.

With Leckonby and Higgins there, one wonders if our chances of getting a series with The Citadel improve. I know they usually prefer to schedule some 'money makers' with FBS schools, however. Charleston is a great place to visit.

Good. Somebody to think about as Coen's replacement after this year's disaster to be.
