This week we traveled back down to Rockwood to go to Coalfield's graduation ceremony where our family started the Kathryn Elizabeth Wilkie Memorial Scholarship in Susie's name. Knowing how much she emphasized to her students the importance of getting a higher education we knew this is what she would have wanted. It was such a touching tribute to her especially since she always took a high interest in helping the less fortunate students. It is a scholarship to Roane State Community College which is where she went her first two years. Here are some pictures from the night.

Scholarship
Here is the seat they reserved in her honor. The reason for the lay is that Susie was married in Hawaii to her late husband Bob and she loved it there. I dont think I will ever see one without thinking of her.
