1978 Fr. Yunker Scholarship Winners
I just received from Elaine Kuhn this clipping from the Jan. 22, 1978 issue of the Catholic Diocesan newspaper, Time and Eternity, photographing the 1978 Fr. Yunker Scholarship winners (from left, after the bank official): Mary Estelle Sitki, Elaine Kuhn, Barbara Blazis, and John Dombroski. Patricia Naumovich was a winner, but not photographed.
I would love to hear from everyone in the photo about what they studied in college and how their careers and lives have turned out.
Elaine Kuhn is already profiled on this site. Thanks a million for finding and sharing another proud bit of Lithuanian-American history in Springfield!

I graduated from Springfield College in Illinois with an AA in Commerce and the University of Illinois – Champaign with a bachelors in Accounting. I received my CPA in 1980 and worked for two years at Kerber, Eck & Braeckel and for over 34 years at the Illinois Commerce Commission involved with the regulation of public utilities in Illinois. I started my own company, MES Consulting LLC, in 2016 and am a consumer advocate for residential utility customers and offer testimony before the Illinois Commerce Commission.
The scholarship I received benefitted me and my family tremendously and I am very grateful for having been a recipient.
