During our Wednesday, May 18, 2005 luncheon, Jan Beaty, wife of the John Beaty, a long-time member of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia was present. When John passed away, Jan asked in lieu of flowers, that people donate to the Broadcast Pioneers' Scholarship fund. Because of that, we raised enough funds to award a $1,000 scholarship in honor of John Beaty to Elizabeth Watts of Rowan University.
