Edison alumnus ('54) and legendary youth coach Gary Wilson was honored by the City Council on Friday, December 12, for his lifetime commitment to youth, parks and the spirit of play in the City of Minneapolis.
The 79 year old Wilson has been the Athletic Director at Farview Park for 50 years, meaning that several generations of Minneapolis youth have received the benefit of his mentorship and guidance. He has coached baseball, football and basketball and has been a tireless advocate for providing youth with athletic and recreation opportunities. In 2000 he was inducted into the Edison Community and Sports Foundation's Hall of Fame for his support of the school and its athletic programs and his significant contributions to youth recreation and athletics in the City of Minneapolis.
