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.
