Recently visiting with Virginia Ricketts as to why she felt her mother wanted to set up a permanent scholarship, she said that Claras wanted to do something in Lloyd’s memory and felt it was important to get a good education. Lloyd never got to finish school and she just wanted to help todays kids to go onto higher education. All of Lloyd and Claras Kriegel’s children have graduated from BGM along with several grandchildren. Several of the children attended college and now several of the grandchildren are attending college and have benefitted from the scholarships awarded from CSF.
