Grace is a senior at La Vernia High School. Her essay was about Elton F. "Buddy" Strey, a true "La Vernia Legacy" who, as she wrote, "was a member of the first eleven man football team and the inception of the La Vernia Junior Livestock Show." We presented Grace with a $1000 scholarship at our May meeting in the GVEC Community Room. She said writing the essay created in her, "a deeper sense of pride for La Vernia." We look forward to sharing Grace's essay in an upcoming edition of our publication,
