I worked with Lan at WHS, and watched him set a wonderful example for young folks, in coaching and in the classroom. If you ever saw him in his Halloween costume each year, it would make you smile and laugh again. Great guy, and so deserving of this honor, which is truly an honor for us.

Lan and I were classmates in Jr. High school. He and his twin Mike were swimmers back then, in the late 60’s. This would be a wonderful tribute to a great person.

This amazing aquatic center is Lan's dream. He helped so many others realize their potential and dreams it seems fitting to name this facility after him. His impact on the youth in Watauga County has been felt for decades and should be honored in this way.

I know Lan through his children. Through them I know that he was a kind, thoughtful individual who I very much wish that I could have met. Mother-in-law to Leslie O'Loughlin Wander

This is great facility. I never knew Lan ,but have heard wonderful Things about him . What a great tribute this would be in his memory to his family , community and all of those that were in favor of the need of a new facility. With my daughter being a swimmer in high school it just makes me smile to see the county and Highschool have space to host home meets .
