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.
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.
