Lulich family, grantors o f the scholarship. “The fam ily was very im pressed with Marshall’s singing and acting talents, as well as her academic achievements, commu nity service, but most of all her honesty and worm heart towards others,” they said. The total scholarship amount was extended to also award HHS senior Richard Worden a $500 amount towards his college goals. “He was recognized for his hard work, ethics and goals in agricul ture,” they said. The scholarship was given out exactly two years later to the date and hour that John W.

This sort of talk slanders me, and moreover paints a negative picture of the care delivered at the hospital, which is not to anyone’s advantage.

If anyone really wants to know what has gone on or is going on with me, you are welcome to call me, either here (676-5896) or better, leave me a message at (503) 371 - 5835.
