Dwain Leiber came out of retirement in December

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 26, 2018 - 12:43pm

Dwain Leiber came out of retirement in December – just for the month – or maybe, just for the fun of it.

Tom Dotson, who purchased Leiber Garage, 130 Vance St., from Duane in 2017, needed experienced help this month and he knew where to turn.

During December, the garage offers an $18.95 oil change special, and, well, the phone went off the hook with appointment requests.

Ente Dwain.

So, Dwain returned and as of the morning of Dec. 26 he has already changed oil on 140 vehicles.

I lived in Lincoln Hall my first year as a freshman 1971 and as a senior in 1975. Even when it was known as a rather dirty, loud, study free dorm. It was always so centrally located on campus and was the closest dormitory to the gymnasiums.
