Sounds Tasty To Me

I've never heard of the Asparagus Scholarship, but there's an article in today's Gilbert section of the AZ Republic that explains it:

Daniel Sanchez, a Gilbert resident and agribusiness senior at Arizona State University, became the first student of the Morrison School of Management and Agribusiness to receive the Asparagus Scholarship, a $3,000 award given to students who are pursuing a degree leading to a career in the grocery industry.

...

The Asparagus Club, founded in 1909 in Baton Rouge, La., awards the scholarships that have amounted to more than $800,000 during the past 15 years. The club annually grants scholarships to students from across the country.

This young man sounds like a hard worker with a vision for his future, and you can read the rest of the article to get to know him a little bit.

The Mister's parents endowed a chair at ASU Polytechnic (whose campus is at Williams Gateway) several years ago, with the hope of promoting the agriculture business to future generations. It was a nice feeling to see some tangible evidence of their desires being carried out through this young man's life.
