Congratulations to our local scholarship recipient!

We were so excited to be able to present this award....
 our first
Joel R. Marsh Scholarship

We invited the Rottier family over on a Sunday evening for pizza and cake because it was Jeff's Birthday!  We were so excited that the whole family was able to come over and celebrate because they were in for a unexpected surprise!  I had called home to the party with Skype to say hello to everyone and be there for the presentation of the scholarship (don't worry, we practiced answering Skype video calls before the big event).  Paul and I were in Pittsburgh, with our Whipp's shirts matching Curt's, and were able to say hello and ask Tony if he wanted to jump into the hot seat in front of the webcam!

Tony - Recipient of the Joel R. Marsh Scholarship! Congratulations!

Once we had Tony sitting front and center, that's when we revealed that it was not only a celebration for Jeff's Birthday but for Tony's achievement and hard work as well.  He was presented with the first Joel R. Marsh Scholarship for his dedication to emergency services in the community and continuing his health care education to further serve our area. In addition to this being the first scholarship awarded, it was also awarded on February 27, 2012 - a very special date of dedication.

Curt, Tony, Deb - The Joel R. Marsh Scholarship
We are very fortunate to have such a close community with dedicated volunteers and professionals.  We, among many other families, have used Seymour's emergency medical services and couldn't be happier with the care and commitment of those who arrive on the scene. We wanted to express our sincere appreciation to all of the volunteers who continue to support the community.

We wish Tony the best in his continued and pursuit of  higher education and training - Thank you so much for all you (and your family) do for our community!
