255 HAROLD F. ADKISON [SC]
Times are Tough all Over!
Realizing that even in these tough times jobs were available to
those with special training, the Harold F. Adkison Chapter 255 of
the Korean War Veterans Association, Inc., serving the Central
Savannah River Area of South Carolina and Georgia, decided to
do something to help a deserving recipient get into the work force
by providing an annual $500 scholarship.

Winsor
On August 25th, several members of the chapter witnessed the
presentation as Chapter Commander C. Clyde Hooks presented
the check to the President of Aiken Technical College, Aiken,
SC., Dr. Susan Winsor.
The college will be responsible for choosing a worthy student
to receive the award. There will be $250 presented for each
semester.
The chapter membership voted to restrict the scholarship to a
veteran, their spouse, child or grandchild.
The veterans, accompanied by several Associate members,
were honored by the college with a luncheon, after which they
were given a tour of the remarkable facility, which has outstanding
technical equipment and classrooms.
