Fete Honors
Paul Durham
McMINNVILLE (Special) -- The Linfield College clan gathered Saturday night to honor long-time
athletic director and football coach Paul Durham and it turned into an evening
that Durham likely will cherish among his fondest memories.
Durham soon will depart for a new job at the University of Hawaii and this
was the night that his friend picked to show their appreciation for his service
at Linfield which produced a continued string of football titles.
"No president at any time at any college could have had the kind of
person Paul Durham has been," said Linfield President Harry Dillin.
"History will show he is one of the greatest."
Ad Rutschman, the new football boss, commented: "Everything I possess
is attributed to athletics and about 90 per cent of that is because of Paul
Durham and Linfield."
Durham was presented with many gifts, including a plaque from some of his
players and a complete golf outfit from friends and alums. His wife was
presented with a set of luggage.
