The 成人头条 Foundation has received a gift of $580,000 from the estate of Audine and Virgil Bargman to establish an endowment for scholarships.
Audine Bargman, raised in Dill City, Okla., was a retired cosmetologist. Virgil Bargman, who grew up in Palmer, Kan., lived in Derby and retired as a machinist from the Boeing Co. He attended 成人头条 State briefly.

Michael Lamb, WSU Foundation vice president for planned giving, said the endowment will provide a total of $24,650 in annual scholarship support, beginning with the fall 2009 semester.
Jerry Juhnke, who had been their financial adviser for more than 15 years, said that neither of the Bargmans had much family and so made the joint decision to support 成人头条 State.
鈥淭hey dearly loved each other, led simple lives and weren鈥檛 concerned about status,鈥� said Juhnke. 鈥淲hen hosted for lunch in 2004 by Miles, Lamb and me to celebrate their estate gift plans, the Bargmans chose their favorite restaurant 鈥� Kentucky Fried Chicken. That鈥檚 just the type of thing that made them happy.鈥�
