The Memorial:
Rusty Young served four years as president of the Northshore Scholarship
Foundation, having been elected to the Board of Trustees following his
year as president of the Northshore Rotary Club.
Rusty
was co-chair of the Foundation's first fund-raising project, an effort to
increase the value of scholarships offered through the Foundation to a
level more commensurate with the increasing costs of tuitions at colleges
and universities. The campaign was known as "Narrow the Gap" --
an effort to close the gap between scholarships and the ever increasing
costs of tuition.
He
spent many years in the insurance business, having retired as principal
owner of the Worthington agency in Bothell. He was a graduate and strong
supporter of the University of Washington. Rusty had strong leadership
roles in the development of the Northshore Senior Center and the
Northshore YMCA.
