Curt Gruenwald, President of the Ozaukee County
Historical Society, announced that the decision to sponsor the Harold C.
Dobberpuhl Memorial Scholarship Fund was made through unanimous Board
action taken at their monthly Board of Directors meeting.
"He will always be remembered for serving only the
people with many years of service that reflected his integrity without
compromise and humble servant hood to all of Ozaukee County! He has set
the standards when it comes to dedication, honesty, attention to detail,
commitment and accomplishment. There’s a wide spectrum of Harold’s
involvement within the County and beyond that there isn’t enough room to
list it all! As a lifetime member, support of the Ozaukee County
Historical Society reached all aspects to include the Ozaukee County
Pioneer Village, Stony Hill School, the Ozaukee County Archives Research
Center, and the Interurban Depot Project to name just a few! His passion
and commitment to preservation of the past along with the legacy of
public service left behind needs to be remembered and there is no better
way than the establishment of this scholarship fund!" Gruenwald
mentioned.
The scholarship fund will be awarded on an annual
basis to an Ozaukee County High School Senior who will pursue a career
relating to that of Harold’s many years of public service as Ozaukee
County Clerk or in a field relating to his many passions to include
history, preservation, and photography. A Scholarship Committee has been
established with criteria, eligibility, and the amount to be awarded on
an annual basis. The total amount awarded in the scholarship will depend
upon donations received, serving as the investment principle of the
fund. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to the Ozaukee County
Historical Society at PO Box 206, Cedarburg, WI 53012 and clearly marked
for the Harold C. Dobberpuhl Memorial Scholarship Fund. Scholarship
applications can be picked up from any Ozaukee County High School
Guidance Office or at the Ozaukee County Archives Research Center.
Questions may be addressed to the Scholarship Committee at the address
listed above, or call (262) 377-4510 for further information.
