The Long-Twyford Family Scholarship
The Long-Twyford Family Scholarship
The scholarship was established to honor the memory and values of the Long and Twyford families. Bob and Geraldine were incredible role models from their early beginnings in West Virginia to their final days in Columbus, Ohio. Geri’s passion for learning continued as a graduate of Denison University to a successful teaching career with Bexley schools. A WWII Navy veteran, Bob passed away in 2011 and Geri in 2016 after celebrating her 90th birthday surrounded by family, friends, and former students from her fifth grade classes.
