Bilderback adds hometown Hall of Fame to long list of honors

Ed Bilderback remembers playing youth lacrosse and having his famous grandfather helping out at practice.

Willis Bilderback was retired from an incredibly successful career as a collegiate coach, but loved the stick sport so much he volunteered to help his son and namesake coach a Greater Arnold Recreation Council (GARCI) team.

"I don't think the kids realized who he was, but the parents sure did," Ed Bilderback said. "Fathers would say to their sons, 'Do you know who that was teaching you how to face off?' I saw at an early age how much people respected my grandfather.
