Jerry’s an alum of Sac State, as well, and would be pleased to have this $2,500 contribution to Keri’s education delivered in his name. Thanks to Kathy Beasley, Bob Schmidt, the Isenbergs, and all the other generous folks in the Sacramento Press Club for organizing these scholarships to worthy students in journalism, still a powerful occupation, especially in these times of turmoil in the industry.
Congratulations, Kari! Please let us know how your career progresses.
