The first presentation of the Robert J. Lucas Memorial Scholarship was made by Bob's wife Bernie for the Allegheny Plateau Association of Professional Land Surveyors at the NYSAPLS 2002 Annual Conference in Binghamton, NY. Secretary Joe Kilbury brought Bernie to the conference for the annual NYSAPLS Awards Ceremony. President Jim Ball explained the history of the APAPLS scholarship and discussed why it was commemorated in memory of Bob Lucas, then he called Bernie up to the podium to present the scholarship to this year's recipient, William Kinne. Commemoraion of the scholarship at the 2002 conference was especially significant since both Bob and Bernie were originally from Binghamton. |
