Brusco ('67) Endowment Continues to Give
By Melinda Holmes - FF/S
For the fifth year in a row, the McCallie-Kennedy Library has greatly benefited from the generous donation of Richard J. Brusco, Helen A. Brusco and Elizabeth E. Brusco. The David J. Brusco ('67) Library Memorial Endowment, given in 2010, has enhanced the library’s collection with the purchase of many books and DVDs over the years.
This year, the endowment provided for the purchase of 87 books and DVDs for the library. We are very thankful for the Brusco family's generosity!
