He is most fondly remembered for wearing the "Cat in
the Hat" costume during NEA's Read Across America events.

hand financially. His family wanted scholarships to go to
these students.

Be an active participant in the NEA Student Program on the
local, state and/or national level, be able to demonstrate
financial need, carry a 2.5 or better grade point average,
