We were privileged to present scholarships yesterday to two of our Plymouth Firefighters, from the Corky Ornburg Scholarship Fund, which was most recently funded by Corky’s wife, Margaret, and son, Jeffrey, in his memory.  Corky was a founding member of PC&FPF, and served as Treasurer for 40 years until his passing on January 25, 2018.  He was recognized with the “Public Safety Legacy Award” by Public Safety Director, Mike Goldstein, in 2017.

Adam Kragthorpe & Jeremiah Steele, met all of the criteria to qualify for their scholarships, and both are pursuing their Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certification. With these skills, they will be able to provide on the scene, immediate medical care to patients in emergency situations, which will be a tremendous asset to our city!  Congratulations Adam & Jeremiah!
