"Coach Imschweiler or "Coach" as we called him was a lifelong friend. In the 46 years since graduating Kutztown, I have been lucky to have his teachings reside in my head and have him as an inspiration in my heart. He was one of those special people in my life who left an indelible mark on my whole being - I loved knowing he was there to call whenever I wished to talk. He was that kind of guy and I will miss him tremendously.- Rick "Doc" Dougherty Class of '78
