Don Canham (left) has a discussion with Greg Meyer (right) at the Harold Silverston Invitational on February 19, 2005.

"They have to open Crisler Arena to accommodate the number of people who want to pay their respects to this Michigan legend. At 11:30 this Saturday, May 7, thousands of people will celebrate the end of a life that has impacted so many.

Don Canham was the NCAA high jump champion, a teacher, an administrator, a businessman and a visionary who helped found the field of sports management. Canham pioneered the movement as Michigan AD in intercollegiate sports, on the state and national level, just as Mark McCormack did with professional sports on the national and international level.

Canham went from a student athlete in track at the U of M to a storied athletic director. His legacy in track and field is still being carried out by one of his early hires, Ron Warhurst.

Mr. Canham, thanks for the memories."
