Education unlocks everything.

My father Ace was a lifelong teacher. To him, education wasn't just important, it was necessary. Learning, sharing, watching, listening, participating, studying, reading, playing, all were vital to a successful life. In 2013, I started a small scholarship in my father's name and it has been rewarding to see the winners thrive. The first Ace recipient is now studying at Duke Medical School. This year's winner, Taylor Love, is off to college and I can't wait to see what she does next. Blessed and grateful.
