Description |
2013 Bill Royer Sports Hall of Fame Plaque. Wood and acrylic plaque commemorating Bill Royer of Sequoia High School who was inducted into the Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame on June 11, 2013. Plaque includes image of Royer and a brief biography: "An outstanding athlete at Sequoia High School, Bill received a baseball scholarship to Santa Clara University. But he didn't excel only in sports. A World War II veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corps, he became a fixture in the post-war political life of Redwood City and San Mateo County. That was a period of growth and progress along the Peninsula. After serving on the Redwood City City Council for sixteen productive years (four of them as mayor), He was elected to a seat on the county's Board of Supervisors. He kept that post from 1972 to 1979. He was later elected to the U.S. Congress, where he served one term." Plaque and induction was sponsored by The San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau in cooperation with San Mateo County Event Center and Media Sponsor The San Mateo County Times. Silver-colored plaque is mounted under acrylic onto a laminated wooden board by four decorative brass-colored screws and washers. Black-and-white image of Royer is in the upper right hand corner and Hall of Fame logo is in the upper left corner. |
