Wimberley VFW Post 6441 awarded its Memorial Scholarship for 2017 in the amount of $1,000 to Wimberley High School senior Hunter Anderlitch.
This scholarship is given in memory of post members who have passed in the past year. Also, it is the post taking care of its own as eligibility for the scholarship is limited to children and grandchildren of Post members. It is entirely local in its funding and in its awards. Hunter is the grandson of Post 6441 member Billy Anderlitch and his wife Paula.
Hunter has been active in track and football during his high school years, and he has participated in the Future Farmers of America for 10 years. His designs for deer feeders and duck blinds have won FFA awards in agricultural mechanics. He plans to study Criminal Justice and Wildlife Biology at Texas State University with the goal of becoming a Game Warden for the state of Texas.
