One of the things at the top of my list for last Saturday’s LDR Committee meeting was bolstering the annual scholarship amount. Katie Spencer and Ty Hanson were the first awardees of the “Will Lindgren LDR Founder’s Scholarship.” An honor bestowed a few years ago by outgoing LDR Chair Matt Pohren. It becomes more and more of my focus now that we have capable, young blood taking up the Good Fight.
I asked the LDR Scholarship Committee for a sneak preview on seniors to watch this spring. Out west, James McGown is keen on John Shields of Lexington. Shannon Stenger offered up Andy Vasquez of Burke, Zach Lundberg of Omaha North, Josh Klein of Millard West, and Wyatt McLeod at Lincoln Northeast. Logan Watley will be keeping close eyes on Austin Yardley and Renata Valquier-Chavez from Elkhorn High and Erin Circo of Elkhorn South.
And me, I’ll be watching them all. And working on trying to build on the modicum of support we currently offer.
