1. It's so sad to hear this is happened, but can easily understand why.

How clearly some of us remember when the program was initiated. We remember reading articles from newspapers across the country, of scholarships going to worthy Native American students, inner city students in densely populated areas, to children of immigrant workers traveling from place to place, getting their education in various towns, and others.

The gifts to these students were beyond price, as they were worth everything to the students, to their families, and to the communities where they had lived, and to future communities ahead after their obligations to serve in their own neighborhoods were fulfilled.

The prize beyond compare, and 75 students whose lives, and the lives of others will be so much better because of it.

Hope we will live to see this economic war on Cuba rescinded, roody.

Thank you.
