Purpose:

The purpose of the John Franklin Scholarship Association, Inc. is to encourage and promote the attainment of higher education goals for youth and to provide some financial assistance.

He went to Abilene Christian University on a Golf Scholarship and again was just ok, but he never failed to give it all he had, so he and the golf team succeeded.

He received a degree from ACU and married a fine young lady, Amy, from Weatherford, Texas. The future looked bright but God had other plans and he went to be with the Lord at the young age of 26.
