Subject: RE: BS: Utah's tree died
We should consider getting together and setting up a high school scholarship for Utah. They are not expensive, 100 dollar or so a year. But at graduation a student is picked out by the music dept that best fits the legacy of utah. At graduation his bio is read to the whole crowd and an explanation of what the scholarship is about. It keeps Utah's memory not only alive with us but with each new generation of high school graduates. I did this for my grandfather. Each year everyone hears his story and knows what the scholarship is about. It is a great way of keeping his memory alive and out there with everyone that graduates at the High school. I am in if anyone wants to do this. Also the kid that gets the award will always remember that he got a scholarship because of this great man. In my high school here in town there are lots of these and although the award is not large .. the thought and the gratitude from the people who get is is remarkable.
