Photographs-see attached H. Additional Information I. References-see attached The Anderson-Dresser Home 281 Ferguson, Texas A&M College moved to 501 Fairview, College Station The Anderson-Dresser home is a medium-sized Queen Anne built in 1911. The house sat on Old Highway 6 (now Wellborn Road) at the intersection with Ferguson Street on the campus of Texas A&M College. In 1941, when the College required all staff and faculty to move off campus, Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Anderson purchased lots three (3), four (4) and five (5) in Block 10 situated in the first subdivision of the newly incorporated town of College Station. The house at 281 Ferguson was purchased from the College by the Anderson family and plans made to relocate it. Because the home was slightly too large to move intact, a "cut" was made between the living room and dining room and it was moved to the new location, 501 Fairview in the College Park Addition. The "cut" location is still clearly visible in the home. According to the 1940 Census, the Anderson family included Coach Frank G. Anderson and his wife Helen, along with two sons, Frank, Jr age 12 yrs and Walter age 10. "Frank Gist Anderson, born in Sparta, Tennessee in 1891, came to Texas A&M in the early 1920's. Dana X. Bible, then A&M's football coach, had been Anderson's high school teacher and college coach, and he encouraged his former student to come to Texas. Anderson became the track coach at Texas A&M in 1922 and held that position continuously until 1957, except for the two years he served as Commandant of the ROTC and the time he spent in service in World War II." See reference 3. "Coach Anderson was named commandant of cadets of the college when Colonel J. E. Mitchell resigned to accept a post in the engineering department of the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. Anderson, a colonel of field artillery in the Reserve Corps and commanding officer of the 411 th Field artillery, took over his duties August 1, 1935." See 4 "In 1940, the fledging community of College Station wanted a strong leader at its helm. A group of concerned citizens met to discuss who might make a suitable replacement for professor of mathematics at the college, Dr. J. H. Binney, the current mayor. Anderson had many stalwart qualities and was not afraid to work for what he believed. On April 2, 1940, Frank Anderson became College Station's second mayor." See 3 In October of 1964, "Texas A&M University announced it would induct five former A&M athletic greats into the school's athletic hall of fame. Frank G. Anderson was one of the five and the first "coach" in the hall of fame. Anderson coached the Aggie tracksters to nine conference titles before retiring in 1957. His teams never finished lower than third in the conference." See 5 In 1975 Colonel Frank Anderson was honored by his Alma Mater, Mississippi College, by being inducted into their recently launched Athletic Hall of Fame." He was honored for his outstanding record as an all- around athlete, having earned twelve varsity letters. His was considered to be one of the best if not the best in the history of this small Baptist College, which at that time had an enrollment of under one thousand students. He was best remembered as an exceptionally fine running back who made long scoring runs against major college teams such as Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Alabama and Tulane. He was regarded as one of the best in the South and would probably have been voted such, but for an injury which prevented him from playing in several games. This was the third induction for Coach Anderson into an athletic Hall of Fame. The Helms Hall of Fame honored him during his active coaching career for his having developed several Olympic medal winners. Colonel Andy, as he was affectionately known by a host of friends and former athletes, retired from TAMU in 1957 after a most successful coaching career which culminated with his selection as an Olympic coach for the Olympian games held in Melbourne, Australia." See reference 6 "Mr. and Mrs. F.G. Anderson's youngest son, Walter S. Anderson, was admitted as a midshipman to the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md in 1950." See 7. "He graduated the Naval Academy in June, 1954 and married Miss Jean Marie Edge in College Station shortly thereafter." See reference In 1968, "Lt. Walter S. Anderson, Bryan, spent the weekend of March 9-10 in New Orleans 'sub hunting'. Lt. Anderson's Naval Air Reserve Squadron, VP 703 at the Dallas Naval Station, traveled to New Orleans to participate in a training exercise during their March 9-10 monthly weekend Reserve drill." See 10. Coincidently, the next owner of 501 Fairview attended the same training exercise in New Orleans 'sub hunting". About 1 year later, Frank and Helen Anderson conveyed the property by deed to Walter S. Anderson which was filed April 30, 1969 and recorded in Volume 278, page 94, Deed Records of Brazos County, Texas. See 2b Nine days later, Naval Air Reserve officer, George B. Dresser and his wife, Mary Elizabeth, purchased 501 Fairview. The deed was recorded at the county courthouse on May 9, 1969 in Vol 298, page 198. See reference 2c. Wally's older brother, Dr. Frank Anderson, Jr. still lives in the Bryan area. Each couple raised their children in this home, where they attended the local schools, enjoyed the company of neighbors and watched the city of College Station grow. They are each a part of the history of College Station, as is their home. ~he Ol d Te-xas A&M Cam ous Ho u ses ; pape r~b y Pa ul Van Ri pe r ... 1' ~ 9 1 2 3 4 .....

Anderson, Bryan, spent the weekend of March 9-10 in New Orleans "sub hunting." Lt. Anderson's Naval Air Reserve Squadron, VP 703 at the Dallas Naval Station, traveled to New Orleans to participate in a training exercise during their March 9-10 monthly weekend Reserve drill. The exercise, consisting of 1100 weekend warriors from 20 states, involved 29 flights out over the Gulf of Mexico in search of the submarine USS Atule which acted as an enemy sub seeking to infiltrate the U.S. coastline. Purpose of the training mission was to enable the Naval Air Reservists to test their professional skills under actual combat conditions. Emphasis was placed on effective teamwork. Flying the SP2E "Neptune" an antisubmarine patrol bomber manufactured by Lockheed, the Reserve crews flew search patters over the Gulf during day and night maneuvers under the direction of an Operation Control Center at the New Orleans Naval Air Station. Searching, detecting, tracking and "killing" the submarine was the objective of each flight. Capable of remaining in the search pattern for more than ten hours, the SP2E is electronically equipped to locate the sub either submerged or on the water's surface during the day or night. The plane also carries weapons for destroying the submarine once located. During the exercise Reservists from the Dallas Naval Air Station were able to better prepare themselves for their wartime mission of protecting U.S. coastlines and shipping convoys. In civilian life, Lt. Anderson is sales manager for the Lilly Ice Cream Co. in Bryan. He is a 1948 graduate of Texas A&M and a 1954 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. Lt. Anderson is married to the former Jean Edge of Bryan. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson of College Station.
