- RICHARD ROSS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Richard Ross was a man of many talents. His diverse skills led to many different areas of work, ranging from hospital orderly to teacher and administrator. He was born in Fairmont, Minn., in 1937. After high school graduation he enlisted in the Air Force and spent the next four years teaching electronics at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colo.
In 1957 he married Beatrice Waterbrook. It was at this time that he began working at Porter Memorial Hospital in Denver as an orderly, later working in grounds, purchasing, and maintenance. While working at the hospital Richard attended classes at a local college.
In 1970 Richard and Bea moved to College Place, Wash. Richard continued his studies and finished an Associate of Arts degree in business at Walla Walla Community College. In 1974 he became director of plant services at Walla Walla General Hospital. This position evolved to include the departments of housekeeping, grounds, biomedical, fire and safety, and linens. Richard held this position until 1993 when he retired due to health problems. He died in 1995. Bea worked at WWU from 1989 until July 2002 when she retired as office manager for Campus Health Serivces.
Richard?s dream was to provide a scholarship for students who have to work their way through college and cannot spend the time needed to attain the best grades required for an academic scholarship.
?I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust? ?Psalm 91:2
