Gerry Lehn Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was established in memory of Gerry Lehn, who died following a lung transplant in October 2007. Gerry's three sons were all active in Lawrenceburg High School athletics, and Gerry was a constant presence on the sidelines, camera in hand. Throughout the years, Gerry was a youth coach and an avid fan, with a special place in his heart for athletes who, regardless of talent level, played with heart. This scholarship honors a student demonstrating the attributes that brought joy to Gerry.
