ROBERT A. PULASKI MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Robert A. Pulaski Memorial Scholarship

HISTORY

Since 2015, Dave Estes has presented one exceptional student from Flambeau High School in Tony, WI with the Robert A. Pulaski Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded in memory of its namesake, who is not only an alumnus of Flambeau High School, but was the friend of Dave Estes when they were both deployed to Vietnam in 1971, where they served together until Robert's tragic death.

Out hope at the Livingston County War Museum is that Robert's legacy will live on in those who are fortunate enough to hear his story, and for those few who are able to pursue their dreams with the help of the scholarship.
