Kudos to coach Lou Panizzon
By Langdon Nevens, Carpinteria,
2026-09-16I enjoyed reading the Coastal View article (Sept. 3, 2026) about Lou Panizzon reuniting with the medic who saved his life 58 years ago in Vietnam. I was the band director at Carpinteria High School in the 1970s and 1980s when Lou was a highly successful football coach. Lou was certainly the coach that others aspired to be. He would jokingly thank me for allowing him to schedule a football game before and after the halftime show that everybody came to see.
