Town of Webb English teacher Don Allen was honored by over 100 friends and past and present colleagues at a retirement party at the Old Mill Restaurant on Friday, June 17.
Don, of Remsen, has taught at the Town of Webb School for the past 38 years.
He became boys varsity coach in the mid-70’s and with 350 wins, is one of the winningest coaches in New York State history.
During the party tributes were given by fellow instructors Mike Cunningham, Kirsten Down, Dave Leach and Tim Leach.
Don was hired by Jack Leach, Dave’s father and Tim’s grandfather, who was Town of Webb School Principal at the time.
“Don has been a great teacher, a great friend, and a great role model,” said Tim Leach in his closing remarks.
Don, whose favorite pastime is bicycling, was presented with a new road bike by his fellow teaching staff as a retirement gift.
