LILLIAN AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH A
DRASTIC CHANGE WITHIN THE LAST
YEAR.
-
AFTER GOING SOUTH EVERY WINTER FOR THE
LAST TWENTY FOUR YEARS, WE FINALLY SOLD
OUR MOBILE HOME IN MESA , ARIZONA
AND SPENT OUR FIRST WINTER IN
MINNESOTA THE WINTER WAS
NOT BAD AT ALL. I BOUGHT NEW
WINTER CLOTHES AND NEW OVERSHOES
BUT I NEVER WORE THEM
ONCE.
-
MY
WIFE AND I ARE LIVING IN THE OLD
JOHNSON LAUNDRY BUILDING ON
THE NORTH END OF BROADWAY. THERE ARE
EIGHT UNITS AND THEY ALL FACE THE LAKE.
I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO BUY AND
THIS IS OUR 15TH YEAR IN THE
CONDO.
-
I KEPT TELLING PEOPLE THAT WE WOULD
HAVE A SNOW STORM IN MARCH AT THE
TIME OF THE STATE BASKETBALL
TOURNAMENT. SURE ENOUGH, WE GOT A
SNOW STORM WITH 19 INCHES OF
SNOW. SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE
THOUGHT THAT OLD GEEZER KNEW WHAT
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

MANY THANKS TO YOU, THE FOUNDERS AND
OTHERS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. WITH
YOUR HELP WE HAVE GIVEN 20 SCHOLARSHIPS
WORTH $25,000 TO DESERVING ALHS
STUDENTS.

AND AGAIN I THANK GOD FOR THE SPECIAL
BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE-FAMILY-FRIENDS-

SO MANY STUDENTS IN MY 40 YEAR TEACHING
AND COACHING CAREER.

- A Letter from Manny Steil
(September 20, 2005)
- Dear friends of the Leroy Maas
Scholarship Fund,
- You will be pleased to know that
the LeRoy Maas Scholarship continues to
support the education of deserving ALHS
students. Last May we awarded an
additional $4,200 to 3 additional
recipients of the LeRoy Maas
Scholarships. This year's students,
Jared Butler, Zach Hansen, and Brandon
Klukow, were an outstanding group that
will do well at Drake University and
Augsburg College. Each student was
awarded $1,400. At 88, Mr. Maas
continues to be excited as we have
provided $25,000 in Scholarship support
to 20 students over the last 9 years.
-
- As you know, our primary goal is
to perpetuate the values, teachings,
and life-long service of LeRoy Maas
while assisting the educational
development of deserving ALHS student
athlete/scholars.
-
- Our financial goal is to create
a minimum base fund of $100.000.00 and
grow the fund annually. To date we have
received cash donations of $89,280 from
527 contributions from 127 individuals,
classes, and organizations. In
addition, the Maas Scholarship has been
named as beneficiary of a $10,000.00
donated Life Insurance policy.
-
- As all Maas Scholarship awards
are made from accrued interest, every
addition to the principal will increase
our future annual awards. To that end,
our Board of Trustees invites your
continued generous contributions. We
appreciate and extend thanks for your
important continued support.
-
Sincerely,
- Manny Steil
- Board of Trustees
- P.S. In special recognition, a
bronze sculpture of Mr. Maas was
commissioned and donated by the Frank
Gallagher family. It is the first bust
of an Albert Lea teacher to be
displayed at the new Albert Lea High
School. We extend our thanks to the
Gallagher family,
