NASA DRYDEN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP WINNER ANNOUNCED

Kerisha Schultz (center), the daughter of Craig and Dawn Schultz of 
California City, was recently named the recipient of the Joseph A. 
Walker Memorial Scholarship by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center's 
Employee Exchange Council. Schultz, seen with Dryden Director Kevin 
Petersen (left) and her father (right), is a graduate of Tehachapi 
High School and a freshman at Point Loma Nazarene University, San 
Diego, majoring in liberal studies. She hopes to become an elementary 
school teacher. The scholarship, the 20th to be awarded by Dryden's 
Exchange Council, is named for former NASA Dryden chief pilot Joe 
Walker who lost his life in an aircraft accident in 1966. The 
scholarship is offered annually to high school seniors who are 
children of current or former government or contract employees at 
NASA Dryden. The $6,000 scholarship will be paid over four years of 
college if a 3.0 grade-point average is maintained. Craig Schultz is 
a CAD draftsman employed by Lockheed-Martin at the local NASA center.
