I am a recent graduate of Howell High School. I am writing to publicly thank Jay Drick and the late Ralph Drick for creating and funding the J. Ralph Drick Master Mason Scholarship. I am this year’s recipient, and I am very grateful to have the honor of using this money for my tuition this fall at the University of Toledo. This scholarship is offered to anyone planning on pursuing education in the construction field. With the help of this scholarship, I hope to improve the future of the state of Michigan.
