Three UB alumni who distinguished themselves as athletes during their college careers were inducted into the UB Alumni Association Hall of Fame at a dinner at the Center for the Arts on September 27.

Gerald J. "Faker" LaFountain, B.S. '66, of Scottsdale, Ariz.; George V. Lesser, D.D.S. '39, of Rochester; and Edgar Greenard Poles, B.S. '73, of Buffalo, were honored by UB President William R. Greiner, Alumni Association Executive Director William J. Evitts and Athletic Director Nelson E. Townsend before an audience of nearly 300 alumni boosters, friends, family members, coaches and student athletes.

LaFountain, a real estate executive who earned his degree in physical education, received honorable mention in 1965 for the NCAA Division I football all-star team. He also won three intercollegiate championships and was named to the All-East NCAA Division I first team in 1965. He played professional football for seven years after graduating from UB.

Lesser, who retired from dentistry in 1993, earned first place in Class "A" epee in the 1939 Eastern Intercollegiate Fencing Championships, winning 12 consecutive matches and upsetting the defending champion. He also earned second place in sabre and fifth in foil in the 1939 championships.

Undefeated as a freshman wrestling in the unlimited weight class, Poles suffered only one varsity defeat as a sophomore wrestling in the 191-pound weight class. A defensive lineman on the Bulls football team, he was named to the 1965 Associated Press All-East second team and received honorable mention for the AP All-American team, also in 1965.
