“It is a great honor to be back at Bryan Adams and to see my name on the side of the gymnasium is very special to me,” Blair said. “This honor comes with a lot of hard work from the many coaches I have worked with and the great players I have been fortunate enough to coach. It was a special moment to walk out on the field with seven of my teammates from the city league championship team in 1963.”
