Even though I never met Lan, I knew of him through so many people in the community and always heard such positive things about him. I think naming the facility after him would be fitting tribute after all he has done for the youth in this area.

I went to high school with Lan where he was a top swimmer on our team. After high school he maintained his integrity, life of giving back to others, love of his family, freinds and his community. It would be an honor to have his name on the Aquatic Center. Once his name is there I will visit and take a photo of me in front of his name .... in his honor and his memory. He was such a wonderful person.

Lan served his country in the US Navy, and served his community as a teacher and coach, devoted to inspiring his students and athletes. He is precisely the kind of role model who should be memorialized in this fashion.

Lan Was a great teacher and an awesome coach! I even remember one time he borrowed my Ace Frehley Halloween costume when I was in HS to use for a big party he was going to at Tweetsee that year. Great Memory!

Since Lan began thoughts on this project and did not live to see the completion, this would be a great honor in his memory.

Wonderful teacher and friend to our children. Naming the aquatic center after Lan is very fitting.

Lan was a gifted coach and teacher. My sons, Steve and Andrew Jackson benefitted immensely from their time and experience with Lan. I am completely in favor of naming the swimming complex at the Watauga County Recreation Center in honor and memory of Lan O’Laughlin

Lan O’Loughlin should absolutely be honored and remembered and memorialized by naming the new Watauga Country Rec Ctr Pool after him! It’s a wonderful idea considering the number of hours he put in at the pool side in this country teaching so many young team members to swim at their highest level!

Lan was a pillar of Watauga County through his high school teaching and dedicated work with thousands of young people in the pool. He made an impact on so many and the community should be proud to have his name on the new aquatic center.
