The idea for a memorial scholarship originated in response to the tragic death of one classmate, Ed Gannaway, who saved many lives but lost his own, heroically piloting a malfunctioning commuter plane to the ground in 1995. As interest grew, so did the desire to have it memorialize all departed members of the Class of 1968. To view the classmates that have been honored at Class Day each year, please visit our Deceased Classmates Page above.
