Over $300,000 in scholarships were awarded on Wednesday night at Evansville High School to graduating seniors. Some awards were from private colleges, some from corporations or service organizations, some from industry related organizations or religious groups, and some were from private families of Evansville.
This year was notable for four new awards: The Ethan Willoughby Award, The Jared Fredrickson Memorial Award as well as the Frank and Vivian Gildner Memorial Music Scholarship and the Kathleen Spanton Memorial Award . The Evansville Observer still gets visitors searching for information about Jared or Ethan. They have not been forgotten.
While it is so that academic and athletic achievements were part of many of the scholarships, the character of the persons honored in these four new scholarships represents an important recognition by our community of their legacy----far beyond any money award. The Evansville Observer salutes the recipients of these awards.
