London to honor LeBeau?s legacy

The roots of his success.
For 50 years as a player and a coach in the National Football League, the branches of Charles Richard "Dick" LeBeau?s tree are far reaching.
Despite the many kudos he has received in the NFL, LeBeau?s feet have always been firmly planted in the soil of his home town. Long before he graced the sidelines in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Detroit, Green Bay, and Philadelphia ? and even before his time in Columbus with the Ohio State Buckeyes ? LeBeau put on the shoulder pads for London High School.
"When you meet him, you?ll like him," LeBeau?s brother Bob said. "He?s still the same guy as he?s always been in London."
LeBeau?s London and NFL legacies will now come together next month as the former Red Raider third-string quarterback will be honored at an event to kickoff the LeBeau Field House Project ? a facility to be constructed in celebration of London?s Legend of the Fall. The fundraising dinner/auction will take place Saturday, June 27, starting at 6 p.m. in the London High School Gymnasium.
