Seahorses dedicate season to Ed Trotter
The Christchurch School 2017 football season was dedicated to the memory of Seahorse I. Edward Trotter of Lancaster. A member of the Class of 1949, Mr. Trotter played center for the school’s undefeated, championship team of 1948.
He went on to become chairman of the school’s board of governors and trustee and president of the Christchurch School Foundation.
Mr. Trotter died on June 11, 2017. In acknowledgment of the great pride that Mr. Trotter took in the school’s football program and the spirit and support he always showed, the team dedicated the season to him, wearing his number 10 on a helmet decal.
The Seahorses were delighted to see Mrs. Trotter at Dischinger Field this fall with her son, Nick Trotter.
