"I meant to write this note long ago. I just wanted you all to know how thankful I am for the contribution you made to my education. Having lost my own sister to an accident, I know what this scholarship means to all of you. Kristi's life has had an impact not only on my life, but my sons life as well. I just began my career as a registered nurse, and I couldn't have done it without all of you. I can tell that Kristi's legacywill live on through all of you and the work you do. Thank you so much!"

2011 scholarship winner
Hello Visocky family!
This is Jennifer Fleming and I was a scholarship winner from this previous year. Remember the short blonde girl with big, greasy, Diesel dreams? That's me!
I remember you all saying that you loved success stories and I can't even tell you how long I've been meaning to write. I'm just getting into my second semester at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm the only girl in the program, imagine that huh?
Last semester I was able to diagnose and solve several issues on my sister's '97 Ford Powerstroke diesel and now it runs like a dream. I also got to rebuild a '97 Powerstroke engine that we will be putting into a truck tomorrow. Today we just about wrapped up a long time running Volkswagon Jetta TDI project(I can't even begin to tell you how happy I'll be to see that leave! Haha)
I've also been able to get my hands dirty in some other projects too. Hey, I even made it onto their website not too long ago! I'm also Vice President of the Skills USA club along with my volunteering at the animal shelter every weekend.
My other main deal is my job. I work for Spradley Barr Ford here in Cheyenne in their Quicklane, and (on most days) absolutely love my work.
I'm sure you can see why its taken me so long to drop an email. I'll do my best to keep in touch more frequently and hope all has been well for all of you.
