THE FOOTNOTES

At the time of my retirement in 1985, the Rockville Area Chamber of Commerce honored me by establishing scholarships in my name
in each of the three high schools in the Chamber's area------Ellington High where I coordinated the Cooperative Work Experience Program, in Tolland and Rockville High Schools which also had CWE programs. In establishing CWE at Ellington High, I worked closely with the Chamber and its members to develop training stations for our non-college bound students. I rose through the chairs of the organization to where I would have become President but I declined the Presidency saying that the President should be a business person. That's how involved I was.
The Noonan Scholarship was for $500 dollars in each of the three local high schools.
The scholarships were awarded for nine years, , and ceased when the Rockville Area Chamber, the sponsoring organization went out of existence merging with a County wide Chamber.
The present Chamber continues to make mention of what happened in 1985, and
here is part of the page showing it. (see 1985)
