Influential mentor to John Ford in high school. Taught English in Portland High School (Maine)where according to Bill Levy, author of "John Ford: A Bio-bibliography," he "helped the boy with his writing, encouraged Ford's reading, and stimulated thinking with witty comic teaching." In Ford's WWII movie classic, "They were Expendable," at the 1:36:00 mark in the background can be seen a freighter unloading in the Philippines. Proudly emblazoned on its bow is its name: Lucien P. Libby-- Ford's tip of the hat to his old high school mentor.
