After graduating from Parkersburg Catholic High School, she will will be attending Wheeling Jesuit University. Megan a 3.857 GPA and has been very active in the school, community, and church.

The Al Roberts Memorial Scholarship for Undergraduate students went to Ms. Melissa E. Coleman of Green Bank, West Virginia. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Coleman. Melissa won our Graduating High School Scholarship last year. This past year, she has been attending James Madison University of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Melissa was just recently accepted into the James Madison University’s School of Media Arts and Design and will be pursing the Corporate Communication concentration. Melissa is going to also apply for a major is Psychology.

I would like to congratulate both of our awardees for a job well done. Keep up the good work. I would also like to remind all of our members that have children that are graduating high school or college undergraduate next year, that they need to apply for one of our scholarships. You can find the applications in our Mountain Currents Magazine and Web site. You can also contact the scholarship committee chairman.

I also want to thank all the members of the scholarship committee for their support and work in helping me over the past few years. These members are Dwight Reggi, Past President, Ashok Sanghavi, Engineer, James Canterbury, Vendor representative, and Michael Johnson, Regulatory representative. I would also like to thank all of those people who have sent in applications and would encourage them to do so in the coming year.

Thanks for the memories.
