CHARACTER OF A MAN - EDGAR CLARK SCHOLARSHIP
On Friday night, FC Hall of Famer Edgar "Bean" Clark was honored with a men's basketball scholarship in his name for all he has done for not only Fullerton College but the city of Fullerton itself. The newly established Edgar Clark "Character of a Man" scholarship will support future Hornet basketball players attain high educational goals.
Clark's former teammate, lifelong friend, and fellow FC Hall of Famer Bill Morris delivered the keynote speech honoring a true man of character in front of the FC administration, faculty, friends, and family under the lights of the outdoor Hornet PE Quad.
About Edgar Clark
· For 30 years, Edgar has been a board member of the Leon Owens Foundation, working tirelessly, so that young students will be able to attend college on a scholarship.
