Another Lion Success Story

Former Lion footballer Kieth Cockrell '83, (yes that is K-I-E-T-H and not a typo), has been named president of Bank of America's Michigan division.

I can't imagine the challenges facing a bank in what's become the foreclosure capital of America. But anyone who played Columbia football in the early 1980's certainly knows how to face challenges.

It's amazing how many former Columbia football players take on even tougher challenges in business, medicine, and the military.

I'm starting to believe all that stuff about "character-building" we hear so often but don't really listen to enough.
