The thing which made this award special, was the fact
that my favorite "cowboy movie star's wife" was on
the Board.
Roy Rogers, my favorite star. Mrs. Dale Evans Rogers,
Board Member.
I would like to thank, as I did at that time, the Board
Members for selecting me, Lemuel Bradham,
one of the top teenagers in America. First
black from Clearwater High School to
receive such award.
Thanks again.
Brought my mother Mrs. Leona Williams Bradham,
to tears.
"Happy tears".
