Lawrence W. Forbister, known to all
Washington sports fans as "Forble", is the recipient of the 1988 award

He served for many years at Washington & Jefferson College and has also
worked with West Greene High School, the Pennsylvania Mustangs of the
professionaI North American Football League in 1965, the semipro

athletic teams and is known as the school's most enthusiastic fan.

at the annual Coach of the Year banquet in 1986.
