Donald "Lindy" Lindenmoyer 1967 – 2005



For many years the sports program at Cambridge Springs benefited from the overwhelming generosity and commitment of Lindy. Lindy began his career at Cambridge Springs High School in 1967 when he became the Chemistry/Physics teacher. Very shortly there after he became involved in the school’s sports program. For years he spent much of his own time and money to try to enhance the programs here at the Spa. His first endeavor was becoming the basketball score keeper in early 1968. He continued in this position until the end of the 2005 school year, working with seven basketball coaches over that period of time. He also enjoyed baseball and kept score for that program for a number of years. He began working with the football program in 1968, first as the team photographer taking films of each game, home and away. He later headed the instructional TV program for the school, supervising the "crew" to take videos. He became the timer for home football games, a job which lasted until the end of the 2007 season.

Lindy was also a major contributor to the success of the growing boys volleyball program with numerous contributions including filming games, driving the team to weekend tournaments, providing meals for the team, and assisting the coaches with numerous behind the scenes duties and obligations.

As he traveled with the teams to away games he aged quite a bit as for some "reason" as every time the team stopped at a restaurant on the way home he was treated to a birthday cake in spite of the fact that it was nowhere near his birthday.

He enjoyed working in the background to help both teams and coaches. Cambridge had its own laundry and he could be found there many evenings after everyone else had left making sure that clean uniforms and practice gear were always available.

He continued his association with the athletic department of Cambridge Springs even after he left the school to become the PENNCREST School District technology coordinator in 1995. When he retired in 2002, after 39 years of service, he continued doing the basketball scoring until 2005 and football timing until 2007.

Lindy and his wife Joan enjoyed providing many meals for the athletes of Cambridge Springs over the years. They continue to help with the annual football scrimmage meals in August - a tradition started years ago.

Lindy tries to attend as many high school events as possible, even now in retirement. He especially enjoys watching former athletes as they compete in more "senior" games such as softball
