Collects a scholarship


READY FOR COLLEGE- Morgan McLeod of Newbury Park High School collects a $2,000 William and Cynthia Fairburn Memorial Scholarship. It's awarded to seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0 who'll be attending a four-year university studying liberal arts, humanities or science. The Ventura County Community Foundation handed out 354 scholarships on June 5 at the Ventura County Office of Education. William Fairburn was the son of a former Columbia University professor. Cynthia Fairburn's parents were professors at St. Paul's College in Tarsus, Turkey, where she was born. The Fairburns retired in Ojai, read voraciously and believed the finest heritage to leave to children is an education.
