The Ron Anderson Scholarship
Ron Anderson played many roles in our lives. Not only was he Brian's Uncle, he was a key part of the Foundation. Ron helped us with our website, when websites were new. He was always on hand to help with a special event and served on the Foundation’s Advisory Board.
Sadly, Ron passed away in July 2018 at the age of 74. Ron was a kind and witty man. He was a loving husband to Fran, who now plays a pivotal part in the Foundation. Ron enjoyed a 45-year career in multimedia including radio, television, and information technology. He was skilled in writing, public speaking, teaching, videography, photography, and editing.
He was a great encourager of life, travel, the outdoors and the Journey.
The Ron Anderson Scholarship is made possible by his wife, Fran Anderson. It is presented to a graduating high school senior at Suring High School in Suring, Wisconsin.
