A beautiful article from the University of Maryland written in 2018 about my cousins, Marilyn & Barrie Ripin. The article covers their activity with the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences and their mutual involvement with the scholarship program. It's a story of their lives and marriage and their love of their Alma Mater, the University of Maryland. Stories like this make me smile and give me hope.

As Barrie writes:
'Yes of course, we'd be pleased for the article to be a part of our family archive. Since that article was written, Marilyn and I have set up a second, Ripin scholarship at the University of Maryland for Science/Education students who could use a little extra help.'

Additional information will be added here on the Ripin Scholarship soon.

Barrie along with his brother Peter, are the sons of Benet Ripin. Benet is the son of Sadie (Nathan) and Seymour Ripin. Sadie is one of my grandmother, Blanche Rose (Nathan) Hesselin's older sisters. A photo of Benet, Sadie, Blanche and the family can be viewed at the link below.
