John C. Argue
Los Angeles lost a great man when John C. Argue died (obituary, Aug. 11). His life is a testament to the power of one. His leadership made a difference in scores of institutions, including USC, the Los Angeles Sports Council and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
His arsenal was his vast network of friends and acquaintances, whom he connected with each other when they asked or when he saw an opportunity. His intelligence, humor, integrity, selflessness and down-to-earth manner contributed to his influence and his impact.
How lucky we are that his many accomplishments enriched Los Angeles’ civic life and institutions.
