Each year the National Sorghum Foundation offers several scholarship opportunities for college students to apply toward their tuition. The current sorghum scholarships available are the Bruce Maunder Sorghum Leadership Scholarship, the Darrell Rosenow Memorial Scholarship and the Sorghum Feed and Food Scholarship. Applicants for these scholarships should show commitment to a better future for agriculture and sorghum through their educational pursuits. There are different requirements for each. NSP encourages all qualified students to apply.

TWO THINGS GOD DETESTS

25 Years Ago

March 17, 1993

Doc was just getting up to leave the philosophy counter as Herb walked in. Herb was grinning and flexing muscles and had the look of eagles in his eyes. We stared.

“Herb,” said Doc. “You know, you can overdo a good thing.”

“Why Doc … whatever do you mean?”

“I realize that getting more exercise is your resolution for the new year, but a man your age … you need to pace yourself a little, that’s all. Don’t try to get in shape all at once.”

The Lessenden and Spady families learned that Bonnie Lessenden died Saturday.

Thank you for your prayers over the last five months.

Funeral arrangements are pending.
