Scope and content
Ben Cheney (r) happily received a check for $500 written on a wooden baseball bat from two Cheney Studs "alumni," who had benefited from Mr. Cheney's generosity during their boyhood sports careers. In appreciation, a check was issued dated 11-29-69 payable to Mr. Cheney for use in the Ben Cheney Scholarship Fund. Monte Geiger (far left) and Paul Tomlinson of the newly formed Cheney Studs Alumni Association participated in the presentation. In May, $500 would be presented to a graduating high school senior or college senior who played for the Studs. It was the second scholarship awarded in Mr. Cheney's name.
