The late Ed Anderson was remembered Friday by former colleagues and players as a man dedicated to the education of children and a keen interest in guiding young female athletes in the pursuit of excellence and confidence.

One speaker noted that Anderson did for generations of female student athletes what Coach Dan VanDetta did in boys sports.

Speakers include:

• Dr. Roy Dexheimer, superintendent from 1968 to 1981;
• Dr. David Van Scoy, superintendent from 1981 to 1998;
• Nancy Viola, athletic director 1981-1998;
• John Jakubowski, principal of Batavia Middle School, 1990-2003;
• James Tetter, parent and BHS graduate, Class of 1966;
• Ally Shirtz Howe and Sue Medley, BHS graduates who pushed through the idea of naming the field after Anderson;
• Michael Bromley, current athletic director.

Anderson's grandchildren threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
