Many of you have been asking about memorials. Marie and some of her and Greg’s classmates have decided to establish a scholarship at the Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine as the preferred memorial. It is called the Class of 1997 Greg Gramer Memorial Scholarship. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship there are some options for this. You can make checks payable to "U of MN Foundation" and include a note on the check that they are for the "Gramer Scholarship" so it is designated correctly. You can deliver or mail them to Marie or to the College (CVM Development Office, 1365 Gortner Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55108). There is also an online option if you prefer that option at http://www.giving.umn.edu. There is no drop down box listing the Gramer Scholarship yet, so once again you would need to note "Gramer Scholarship-CVM" in the box.
Marie is benefitting from tremendous family support and is appreciative of all the support and concern from friends and colleagues. AASV wishes to express our condolences to Marie and her family.
