According to the Sheyenne yearbook, "Lee was mainly interested in sports. He played basketball all four years of high school and was a member of the state championship team. Other sports activities that he participated in were football and tennis in his freshman year. Leland belonged to Drama Club as a freshman."
May God be with Carolyn and their family and may the memory of Leland Sampson be blessed. The Class of 1961 will never forget him. - posted by Larry Gauper 8-05-2022
