A special endowment A special endowment fund was established this year in memory of Captain Robert Pogue. Captain Pogue attended but did not graduate from UMR. In fact, Captain Pogue was a 1991 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. However, at the time of his death on Oct. 9,1997, Pogue was a student pursuing his master's degree in engineering management through UMR's cooperative program with Fort Leonard Wood. Thus, to honor Captain Pogue's commitment to higher education, Ann Shelton, his fiancee, established an endowment fund in his memory with the MSM-UMR Alumni Association. Many family members and friends made memorial gifts to this fund . As a result, the fund will provide at least one $1,000 scholarship each year to a student pursuing his or her master's degree in engineering management at UMR who is also a military student in the Advanced Engineering Course at Ft. Wood. The recipient must also be a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and must have completed the EOAC portion of the Ft. Wood engineering course. In addition, the recipient must be in good academic standing. Prior to attending UMR, Captain Pogue was commissioned a second t;o"'or'~nt and served for over six years as an officer in the United States Army. Ann Shelton, her family, and the many others who hold the memory of Aaron Pogue dear were pleased to be able to provide this support to other students who are following Captain Pogue's path. Memorials may be sent to the Captain Aaron Pogue Memorial Fund, MSM -UMR Alumni Association, Castleman Hall, UMR, 1870 Miner Circle, Rolla, MO 65409-0650.
