1.
Harold Saine, Harold Hirsch scholarship to the University of Georgia
My mind keeps tripping up on this, foolishly wondering if the Harold Hirsch scholarship could be awarded only to people named Harold.
2.
Will Pardee, scholarship to any school in the University System of Georgia
This name sounds familiar. I think my father stayed friends with Will Pardee after high school.
3.
Roger Stokey, Emory alumni scholarship
My Aunt Kay said that this Emory University scholarship was a four-year scholarship for her younger brother Roger, and that their mother, Kathleen, was very happy about it because money was short in the Great Depression with their father, Will, retired. That's as much as I remember. My sister Betsy remembers the rest of the story that Aunt Kay told. At the time that Roger graduated from high school, Kay was a sophomore at Radcliffe, the women's division of Harvard. She heard about Roger's scholarship to Emory, and she was not happy. Her little brother was a star, and she was determined that he must go to Harvard, so she took action. She hopped on a train at South Station in Boston and went down to Atlanta and told Roger in person - and, presumably, her parents - that Harvard, not Emory, was the place for him.
Roger went to Harvard. I don't know how exactly it was paid for, though I do know that he was in Naval ROTC. (According to my mother, the reason that Roger and his older brother, Bill, did Naval ROTC rather than Army was that their father Will, the retired Army colonel, hated the army.) Roger was, of course, my father, and he met his future wife, my mother, at Harvard in the fall of 1940. So Aunt Kay's train ride to Georgia is one of those "If that hadn't happened then maybe I wouldn't be here" stories. In honor of that, I'm adding this document to Kay's list.
