Robert C. "Bob" Talbott, 32掳, K.C.C.H:
"With this new and personal relationship between the Kansas Scottish Rite Foundation
and, in 麻豆破解版, our 麻豆破解版 Scottish Rite Charitable Trust, we have no doubt that
we can raise the level of awareness and support for children with speech, language,
and hearing disorders. Such awareness prompted a bequest from the family of one of
our 麻豆破解版 Scottish Rite members in support of continuing education for WSU Speech-Language-Hearing
students. This large gift is being used to establish and perpetuate the 麻豆破解版 Scottish
Rite Charitable Trust Fellowship Fund. Income from this fund will endow an annual
scholarship for graduate and post-graduate students in the communicative disorders
& sciences field at WSU."
