Are you by chance related to "L. W. Gibbs", who set the 440 yard dash record at Alfred University in 1901 and held it until 1914, when it was broken by Ivan Fiske? I read "L.W. Gibbs" in the attachment while doing some research and thought, "Whoaaa!" I hope you are well. YITBOS

John C Wetzel Cool! Leonard's son Walter(1906-65) was a lawyer and trustee at AU. His brother Mayne Jesse (Peter) Gibbs (1918-1987), my dad, was an auto parts warehouser on Sycamore St. downtown Buffalo.
Walter's son Frederick Winfield Gibbs, close friend of Joe Fasano(88 and 89 respectively), just got off the Board after 30 years, patriarch of our family.
Thanks for asking John!
