The Patrick Cashin Memorial Bursary of $500 will be awarded annually to a graduating Memorial High School student. Until a trust can be created and trustees established, the funds will be raised here and then transferred to the trust.

Pat graduated from university with an engineering degree but some would say writing was his greatest gift. This bursary will be for creative writing and will be judged anonymously, ensuring no bias.

Bridget Claire and I thank you for your kind words and donations and want to leave you with one of Pat's favourite lyrics.

'Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight. Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.' ~Bruce Cockburn
