The McNeely family was recognized during the recent NSU v ACU football game for their generous donation of a $100,000.00 scholarship for 1st generation students attending Northwestern State University. The scholarship is named in memory of their parents Ludlow & Bless McNeely. Charles “Sandy” McNeely, his wife Lee B. McNeely, and brother Ludlow McNeely were recognized by NSU President Dr. Chris Maggio for their donation. Their mother Bless served the Northwestern State University community during her 32 year career. Helping our state’s young people achieve their dreams is indeed a fitting way to honor their parents’ memory. The Natchitoches Parish Journal joins the NSU family in thanking the McNeely’s for their generosity.
Bless and Ludlow were great people. A very flitting tribute to them.
Ed, thank you for your kind comments.
