*** On September 24, 2004, Mr. Brad Bailey was awarded the first Ben Fitzpatrick, Jr., Graduate Fellowship in Topology. Brad is completing his Ph. D. thesis research under the direction of Dr. Gary Gruenhage.

Fellowship ceremony: Susan Fitzpatrick Pool Ms. Bailey Brad Bailey, fellowship recipient Dr. Margie Fitzpatrick Jack Fitzpatrick Ben G. Fitzpatrick

***Current fellowship funding is over $35,000. Thanks to all who have contributed. Let's continue to grow the fund so that fellowships can be offered very year! Interest rates being what they are these days, it takes a good bit of principal to generate the fellowship award money.
