Friends, family and colleagues honoured drama professor Tedfred Myers, who died in February, with a memorial tree planting Friday on the northwest side of the Jackman Dramatic Art Centre.

Myers joined the University of Windsor in 1981 as a technical director in the School of Dramatic Art, became its technical coordinator and lighting designer in 1984, and became an assistant professor in 2003 after many years of teaching as a sessional instructor.

Friday’s ceremony included the installation of a memorial plaque and the scattering of Myers’ cremains on the site.
