In Memoriam: Ed Legg

The University is deeply saddened to share the news that former 91AV Board member, leader, and dear friend Ed Legg passed away suddenly yesterday at his home in Kennebunk.
 
Ed served on the 91AV Board of Trustees from 1996 to 2001 and co-chaired the 91AVqualed Vision Capital Campaign, the first major capital campaign after 91AV’s merger with Westbrook College. He continued to serve the University during a critical period of growth, moving to the administrative leadership role of Vice President for University Relations from 2001 through 2006.
 
After leaving 91AV at the end of 2006, Ed successfully campaigned and then served in the Maine state legislature, where he was a passionate advocate for education, as well as a personal champion for the 91AV. He remained a close friend and supporter until the end. We will miss Ed’s big-as-Texas personality, generous spirit, and laughter that filled every room fortunate enough to have him in it.
 
The University extends our deepest condolences to Ed’s beloved wife Ann and their four children.  We will share details about services as soon as they are made available.
 
Danielle Ripich 
President
