Introduced to Juniata College athletics at an early age through his father keen appreciation for College Hill athletics, Henry Gibbel has spent the majority of his life following the institution's intercollegiate athletic program. He was a manager on the football team for three years, including the 1955 squad that participated in the 1956 Tangerine Bowl. His time around the football team at Juniata did not end with his graduation. For a period of 20 years, beginning in 1953 through the 1974 campaign, he never missed a blue and gold gridiron tilt, home or away, with the lone exception being the 1958 season when he lived in Kansas City. Overall, he has attended hundreds of Juniata sporting events, including both football bowl games (1956 and 1973) and several of the women's volleyball squad's national semifinal/final appearances. He is a trustee whose volunteer service to Juniata and Juniata athletics has been instrumental to the success of the department for many years.
