Ernest "Ernie" Neal
While
at Lake Forest, Neal served the athletic department and generations of
students by keeping up equipment, uniforms and locker rooms. He assisted
coaches and players in countless ways, from preparing the playing fields
to catching foul balls for the baseball team. A former Lake Forest
coach described Neal as "willing to go out of his way to help anyone on
the teams ... always the optimist for an upcoming game or for a new season."
He retired in April, 1972, after 26 years of service.
