My Grandma is Beatrice Betty Bays Schuller. She was an All American Baseball player in the 50s. It has been said that the baseball field was named after her. I’d just like to say that it makes my heart happy to know that honor was given to her. If there is more information on that, I’d love to know as I haven’t been back to Arizona since I was a young girl.

Sincerely,

Paige Schuller

I attended Greenway Elementary and Bisbee High School from 1955-1968. I loved my time in school because of the great teaching staff and the longtime friends I made during my years spent attending school.
