Here’s a follow-up on the fight to honor Col. Gregory “Pappy” Boyington of “Black Sheep Squadron” fame at the University of Washington. Renee Fricke, Director of the Annual Giving Programs at the University of Washington Foundation, e-mails:

Michelle,

You might be interested to know that we’ve set up the Lt. Col. Gregory “Pappy” Boyington Memorial Scholarship Fund through the University of Washington Foundation and have provided a link on the UW Foundation website for folks who want to support this effort. We’ve gotten a number of e-mails expressing an interest in supporting this fund.

This fund will provide scholarships to undergraduate students who are either a U.S Marine Corps veteran or are the child of a U.S Marine Corps veteran.

Here’s the link to support this effort:

Fabulous idea. Excellent cause. Give what you can.
