The issue is he wants his attorney and then a successor to be the ultimate decision maker on whom receives the scholarship each year. We are not agreeable to this.

I’d like to be able to provide this to the possible donor. > > Thanks and have a great holiday weekend. > > Michele > > Michele Abate Hufnagel '93 > Associate Vice President, Development and Alumni Relations > Washington & Jefferson College > 60 S.
