the harmony of buildings. His creative role as a architect has been a special service in which he used his gifts from God to enhance the work of others across the church. Shalom, Leroy.
Sincerely, Myron A.

In this sense, and because he was promoting these values in the 1970s and 80s, he was very much ahead of his time. I had the privilege of interviewing LeRoy several months ago and was struck by his deep sense of calling and his conviction that good buildings can make a real difference for a community. I think this truth is nowhere more evident than in the ÌÇÐÄVlog Campus Center. If ever there was a structure that helped to save a college, this is one. When you replace an eyesore at the center of a campus with something beautiful and highly functional, it can profoundly reinvigorate the perception and “feel” of a place for everyone involved.
