SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- At the first annual Jennifer Copeland Memorial Scholarship Dinner, ABC57 anchor Brian Conybeare got to speak to her father, physician Larry Kuk.
Her dad talks about how wonderful the scholarship is and how happy it makes him to be able to continue his daughter's legacy of helping young people become journalists. He mentions that he hasn't met the first scholarship recipient yet, but that he's seen a video interview and that he's very impressed.
Dr. Kuk says that Jennifer would be very proud of the work they've been doing, and that they plan to eventually have four scholarship recipients at all times, and that they will meet that goal.
Everyone involved would like to also thank the St. Joseph Community Foundation and the South Bend Cubs for all of their help.
