The Allegheny Plateau Association of Professional Land Surveyors recently endowed their annual scholarship as the Robert J. Lucas Memorial Scholarship in honor of Bob Lucas, a long time APAPLS Associate member and employee of the New York State Department of Transportation (Region 6), Right-of-way Mapping Section in Hornell, New York.  Bob ("Luke" to his friends) passed away in 2000, and it was decided to dedicate the sholarship in his memory at the 2002 NYSAPLS Conference since both he and his wife were originally from Binghmton.  Jim Ball LS, current APAPLS President, introduced Bob's wife Bernie who attended the awards ceremony to accept the endowment in her husband's memory, and to present the scholarship to this year's recipient, Bill Kinne.
