"When I came to Lawrence back in the early 1960s, my mother was a World
War II widow who worked as a registered nurse at a doctor's office in
Menasha. Although I am sure that money was tight, she wanted the best
for me, her only child. The key to providing that was through education
and, we both agreed that Lawrence was the best place. Lawrence helped
us achieve that goal through scholarships, loans and a part time job at
Conkey's Bookstore.
My mother's finances improved as her life moved along. When she did
estate planning, she decided that she wanted to make a provision for
Lawrence in her will. She essentially wanted to pay it forward by
making a bequest to Lawrence.
I, too, am appreciative of all that Lawrence has given me. My education
there gave me a foundation for all that is good in my life. I will be
matching her gift.
