Please Welcome Bill Leinheiser to CMN

His basketball team won the state championships 50 years ago at Camelback High School.  His Arizona State baseball team won the college world series when he was a pitcher for the team.  He was college room-mates with my uncle, Mike Rupcich, yesterday's CMN honoree.  And he was my junior college tennis coach at Glendale Community College for two years.  I was really fortunate to cross paths with Bill Leinheiser at an important time in my life and he inspired me to always give 100% every day.

If you can't find Bill on the tennis courts or in the gym, you may find him at a soup kitchen in Phoenix helping feed the homeless.  Please welcome Bill Leinheiser to CMN.  Have a great day.

Bill and I played Apostles in "Superstar" at AZ State University's Newman Center. "Superstar" was April 10th and 11th, 1976. I was very glad to have been in this play with Bill. A mutual friend, Dave Lawrence, let me know through Bill that actors were needed.
Like Bill I am also a graduate of Camelback HS and AZS at about the same timeframe.
