Roy Leinfuss ’80: A Legacy of Music
Roy Leinfuss ’80, Darrow’s most recent member
of the Legacy Society, developed his love
for music as a student on the Mountainside,
under the tutelage of teachers like Proctor
Smith. Today, Roy has amassed a collection of
more than 15,000 CDs that, along with posters,
albums, prints, and other memorabilia, line the
walls of his home in Salida, Colorado.
Peg Board recently visited with Roy to
learn what motivated him to leave a legacy at
Darrow.
Peg Board: When did you first think about
a legacy gift?
“When I think about how much I learned
about music at Darrow, I wanted others to
have the same experience at the place where
I discovered that passion. I was at a regional
gathering some years ago and talking with
(former Head of School) Nancy Wolf and others,
and I just felt such a great community with
the Darrow people there.”
Peg Board: What do you wish to accomplish
with your gift?
“To give something that many people can
use and enjoy. Much can be learned by listening
to and sharing music that we love. I hope

amassed a collection of more
than 15,000 CDs, as well as
albums, art, and memorabilia
related to rock music.

that my legacy will inspire Darrow students
to discover music, and enable them to get
something out of it as I have.”
Peg Board: Why do you feel that it’s important
to leave a legacy?
“So that the School can support the growth
of people toward the best, and happiest, versions
of themselves that they can be. I want to
donate to the good of all because when one
succeeds we all succeed.”
Peg Board: Who most inspired you during
your years at Darrow?
“People like John Baird, Lauren Baldwin,
Sheldon Flory, Rich Tompkins, Dan Piner, Bennie,
Ed Noggle, Norris Howard, Rick Brown,
who is a great leader and a funny person, and
Dick Tauber, who was a great father figure.”
