The ninth annual awarding of the $500 Stanford Mark Larsen Memorial Scholarship was made 11 June 2015.
The recipient of the award was Charlie Deichmann. We didn't get a picture of us together that evening,
but Charlie sent us one later so we could put it on the website. Charlie is 6 foot 2 inches tall, just
the same as Stanford. He sent us an email about receiving the scholarship: "My name is Charlie Deichmann and I was the student chosen to receive your exceedingly generous scholarship this year. It truly humbled me to hear you both speak about Stanford and what he was like during his years in school. While I will never be fortunate enough to meet him in person, I know that had Stanford and I been classmates, we would certainly have been good friends. The story about his affinity for Spongebob especially moved me because, not only do I love Spongebob as well, but I have been known to dress eccentrically in school because of my love of Star Wars, on one occasion even wearing my Jedi robe to class on pajama day. Very recently, I have also been able to find a home in the Drama Club at school and will be very sad to leave, however, I fully intend to continue performing in college. Thank you both so very much for your generous gift and I wish the very best for your family in the years to come!" |
