As we mentioned in the first edition of Sports Lore one man paved the way for Jerry and I to try a sports website. His name is Bill Shefski, and for many he lives on in our minds and hearts. After Bill died his family decided to create a small scholarship fund in his name. At least the name many of the young knew him as. That was "Pops", as so many children and grandchildren called him that.

His daughters administer the modest scholarship. Each year they select a college bound student who is involved in sports. More importantly a student who approaches sports as they do life. Just like their Dad, our friend, did. That being fair and honest both in play and work. They also must show willingness at all times to learn and grow.

On April 26, 2003 the family will be hosting a fundraiser to continue the scholarship. The details are to follow. If there are any questions let Jerry the webmaster or me know, and we will pass them on to the family.

Bill, you are still very much with us. Mike Toone
