Oldest living Zag dies

Basketball: Eric Walter “Andy” Anderson, considered the oldest living Gonzaga University men’s basketball player, died over the Memorial Day weekend.

A native of Spokane, he and his identical twin brother, Emil, attended Lewis and Clark High. After state tournament appearances with LC in 1934 and ’35, Andy and his brother headed for Gonzaga, where they played basketball for the Zags from 1936-39 under head coach Claude McGrath. The brothers were also members of the Zags tennis team.

Anderson received his degree in civil engineering and lived all over the United States in a 40-year career as a civilian employee with the Department of Defense.
