Eastern Washington University Athletics Hall of Fame
Swords was a photographer for EWU from the late 1980's until his death in 2018 after a seven-year battle with a rare form of cancer. His work was viewed by Eagle fans and others throughout his 30-plus years of taking photos at all athletic events, as well as the WIAA State Track and Field Championships taking place at EWU since 1996. Swords preferred to shy away from the limelight and deflected credit that was thrown his way, but he overcome so much to continue to serve Eastern. He was the epitome of service – giving much, asking little in return and never complaining. He passed away on September 29, 2018, at the age of 66.
