Umland Field?

The Daily Journal has a piece about the possible naming of the BHS football field

The stadium field at Burlingame High School could be named after a champion of the school’s athletic department once the stadium’s bleachers are complete by fall of next year.

Thursday night, the San Mateo Union High School District’s Board of Trustees discussed naming the field after Panther class of 1954 alumnus Peter Umland, who died in September 2001 shortly after being named Alumnus of the Year. He was 66.

Another key part is

Umland and his wife Dolores made the district a residual beneficiary in the Peter S. Umland and Dolores T. Umland Trust. Under the trust, portions of the residual estate are bequest to the district “for use by the Burlingame High School Athletic Department in its athletic endeavors.”

This gets a Gems of Burlingame notation!  Click through and read the whole article about Mr. Umland.  With school starting this week, football is in the air as well.

    I was informed that the man who contributed @1,000,000.00 to the renewal of the Burlingame HS Sports Arena was the man who once owned the “Smoke Shop on Burlingame Ave.
    Is that Mr. Ulmand?

    I think whoever made that donation meant for it to be anonymous.

    Theh Burlingame Lions contributed 14k to renovate the field. Nice plaque of thank you near the third base line dugout.

    What happened to the home team bench that was dedicated to the BHS lads that gave all in WWII??? I was real sad to see it had been removed when the field was converted to turf…

    Isn’t the bench still there ? At any rate, there is A bench made of what looks like granite, at the Carolan end of the field, that I believe is in honor of those who fought in WWII.
