Hall of Fame
Adrian and Margaret Harmon
Adrian and Margaret Harmon could be considered the first family of Central Athletic Boosters. In 1929, Adrian attended his first Mules game. In 1949 they became season ticket holders, later becoming charter members of the Mule Train Athletic Booster Club.
They have supported Central Missouri State financially–the School of Business is named in their honor–and with their time, opening their home to Central student-athletes in the days before residence halls and loaning their personal airplane to CMSU coaches for use in recruiting trips.
All three of the Harmon’s children–sons Lynn and Tom , and daughter Deborah–attended University High School. Both sons attended Boy’s State at CMSU (Tom continued to work with the organization for a number of years after graduation from college), and the Harmons were instrumental in the Challenge Fund, which insure that Boys State will forever find its home on the CMSU campus. Lynn later became a member of the CMSU Board of Governors, and the Harmon’s daughter-in-law, Tammy Noah-Harmon, was a standout on the Jennies 1984 National Championship team.
The Harmons, who remain fixtures at Central athletic events, have eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
