Mike:  Hello, I’m Mike Wasik.

Kailey:  Hi, I’m Kailey Caballero class of ’22 here at Trumbull High.

Mike:  We’re here to present the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship.  Jay was a good friend of mine.  I graduated High School with him in ’96 and we were good friends then and for many years after.

Kailey:  Me, personally, I have not known Jay Shannon but honestly, I wish I have because of the great things I heard about him being a friendly, creative person and pursuing the animation arts.  It really inspires me and I hope it inspires many others to carry on his legacy.  Therefore, I would like to award this next Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship to Camryn Blank who will be studying Writing for Film and TV along with TV Production at Chapman University.
