My discussion about Marlon and Marlon's brother made me think of another thought that's been rolling around my empty skull.
So we've done a few things in honor of our deceased brothers.  I'm good with all of those, and I appreciate the folks who worked to get those accomplished.
But I was wondering about a permanent scholarship fund.  Instead of coming up with a new project every time one of us makes The Last Corps Trip, we can memorialize our fallen classmate with a gift to the fund.  The sadness of more of us passing would be a bit offset with the fund growing and benefiting a current student.
Obviously we can restrict it to a current BQ, if we wish.  The gifts would remain in the endowment, any interest/dividend to the scholarship.
If there is interest, I can find out the particulars from my niece,
