Scholarship
Trail Blazer Scholarship
Every other year one qualified student will be selected to receive a $1,000 one-time scholarship. For 2008 the scholarship is being offered in the memory of George B. Kniert. George was an active member of the Trail Blazers for 53 years. An avid fisherman from youth to adulthood he joined the Trail Blazers in 1948 after his service in the 26th Air Service Squadron during World War II. Modestly, George played a profound role in the Trailblazers for decades. Year after year he was highly active in the outdoors stocking and surveying an astonishing number of lakes. By 2001, George had sponsored 144 stocking trips and participated in 114 others. George pioneered so many routes to remote areas of the Cascades exploring and expanding the network of lakes to be enjoyed by thousands of fishermen, naming many along the way. George was a mentor to the younger membership and a motivating agent of the club through the purist of the Trail Blazer's dedication of better alpine fishing.
