Bob Anderson Sports Hall of Fame Plaque, 2001. Plaque commemorating Bob Anderson of Sequoia High School being inducted into the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame on June 5, 2001. Plaque includes image of Anderson and a brief biography: "Beginning in 1950, Bob Anderson spent decades coaching just about everything at Sequoia High School in Redwood City. But one sport was his favorite: Boxing. A fighter himself, he won the Fleet Championship as a U.S. Navy man at 147 pounds. At San Jose State, he fought for the NCAA boxing championship. At Sequoia, he nurtured his father's "Boy's Night" boxing event until 1976 when it was ended. It is estimated that 4,000 Sequoia boys learned the art of self-defense in that program." |
