              I would like to thank all those who contributed 
              to the Lawrence McDonald Conservatory Clarinet Scholarship fund, 
              which reached its goal earlier this year. My special appreciation 
              goes to the two alumni who organized the project and worked to see 
              its completion: Bela Schwartz and David Ballon. Conceived by Bela 
              and developed initially and throughout the drive by both, it was 
              their efforts and great generosity, which made this award a reality. 
              I am honored and most grateful. Thank you, David and Bela, and all 
              others.
