David Lamm

David Lamm (’63) served the Mankato area as a real estate, probate, and estate planning attorney. He enabled several of his clients to make substantial bequests to the Schola Foundation. David served on several boards, including Habitat for Humanity, Holy Rosary Catholic School, and Pathstone Living. His father, Paul Lamm, and his three sons, James, Michael, and Matthew, all graduated from Loyola. David’s son James was named after Jim Korth, the towering coach and legendary Loyolan, and Jim Smith, his track coach at St. John’s University. Jim Korth “persuaded” David to run track as a sprinter, and he set sprint records at both schools and in the MIAC conference. As a senior at SJU in 1968, David placed third in the 200-meter dash at the NAIA national track meet. He established the St. John’s school record in the 100- meter dash, which stood until 2018, and in the 200-meter dash, which remains unbroken. David and Pam, his wife of 49 years, now reside in Florida.
