BHS student awarded scholarship At Beaufort High’s recent Senior Night, the principal announced the school’s senior class had earned more than $8 million dollars in scholarships this year. Among the recipients was Eric Freeman, a 17-year-old Beaufort High School graduate whose grin lit up the crowded
auditorium when he won a Len Miret Memorial Scholarship. The crowd cheered as he took the stage to accept the award from one of the fund’s founders, Habersham resident Joey Gazdak. Gazdak said the fund raises the scholarship money, which has helped 15 seniors since 2008
with their college expenses, by staging events and through direct solicitation.“Our events include golf tournaments, concerts” performed by Gazdak’s wife, singer Maggy Norden, “and plain ol’ garage sales. We have no endowment.” STUDENT continued on page 22
