The memorial...

   The scholarship was first established in memory of float plane aviation pioneer Bob Munro, founder in 1946 and operator of Kenmore Air Harbor at the north end of Lake Washington.

   Bob Munro with refitted Beaver equipped to land on glaciers and snow packs -- a float plane first.

    Northshore and Woodinville Rotary clubs contributed to the endowment along with family and a legion of friends. Bob Munro, a native of Seattle, established the seaplane business after World War II. He was a charter member and past president of Northshore Rotary.
   "His unwavering sense of honesty and integrity in business made him one of the most respected figures in the aviation industry."

   Ruth Munro died in 2003. The Munros devoted much of their lives to the seaplane world, maintaining their residence directly next door to the seaplane port.

Leslie Banks and Gregg Munro congratulated the very first memorial scholarship winner Jefferey Thomason of Inglemoor High School who was headed for the University of Washington and a career in engineering.
